en - zoviraxZovirax is used for treating herpes zoster (shingles), chickenpox, and herpes infections of the skin, lips, and genitals. Zovirax decreases the pain and itching caused by these infections and promotes healing. It comes for both topical and oral use. Topical Zovirax is applied to the infected area upon the first appearance of symptoms. Oral Zovirax is prescribed only for sever cases of herpes infection due to the possible side effects. Topical Zovirax should be applied well to the infected area by wearing a glove or a finger cot, or by using an applicator (e.g. a cotton swab). This helps prevent viruses from spreading to other body parts. Hands must be washed before and after applying Zovirax ointment. Eyes should be protected from Zovirax. The ointment is applied every 3 hours, 6 times daily for 7 days. The doctor’s instructions must be followed. A missed dose of Zovirax should be applied only if remembered soon. Zovirax overdose is unlikely to happen. If any unusual effects are felt, medical attention should be called. Patients having any other medical condition and those taking other medications should not use Zovirax prior to the doctor’s advice. Same holds for pregnant and breastfeeding women. Patients who are sensitive to acyclovir or prophylene glycol should not take Zovirax. Possible Zovirax side effects include allergic reactions (swelling of facial parts or tongue, breathing difficulty, hives), in which case urgent medical help must be called. Less serious effects include: itching, stinging, burning, or a rash. The doctor should be consulted about these while continuing Zovirax. Store Zovirax below 25°C (but do not refrigerate). Drugs.com has more information about Zovirax online. Patients may buy Zovirax online at the websites of pharmacy stores.
