In 2003, in a report on herpes in Finland, we have described Zovirax in a convenient package in the form of a bottle with dispenser. Less than 4 years later, according to information sources, the company GlaxoSmithKline is launching a new dosage form of Zovirax on Russia and Ukrainian markets.

A new form of Zovirax is a stylish and handy bottle with a dosing device unlike a usual drug package. It fits easily in your pocket or even the smallest beauty case and can be successfully used anytime and anywhere without notice. Now, neither the absence of mirrors nor doubts about the hands cleanness will not be an annoying obstacle to the immediate start of treatment. Tipping the Zovirax cream that is absorbed in less than a minute, leaving no trace, you can start the treatment for herpes at the first signs and avoid the manifestation of the disease in full.

Now it is possible to apply Zovirax without using one’s hands, which reduces the risk of transmitting herpes to the skin of hands. To control the opening of the drug, each bottle has a seal. Each bottle contains 2 grams of 5% acyclovir.

GlaxoSmithKline has started an advertising company in the popular and professional press and television. However, the arrival of the new form of Zovirax in pharmacies is expected in a few months.

Despite the fact that Zovirax is an OTC drug, there are certain contraindications, therefore read the instruction before applying the cream. The main contraindication is hypersensitivity. However, Zovorix must be used with caution in pregnant and breastfeeding women.

Patients with low immunity (HIV / AIDS or after bone marrow transplantation) as well as in the case of severe or recurrent course of herpes infection should be prescribed systemic injection of Zovirax together with a topical use of the drug. Zovirax does not prevent transmission of herpes infections, thus it is recommended to avoid sexual life during the period of treatment, even in the absence of clinical manifestations of the disease.
