Zovirax cream is used to treat cold sores (i.e., oral herpes) on the face or lips. This medication may also be used to treat genital herpes. Zovirax cream does not cure herpes, but relieves the pain and may help the infection clear faster.
Extensive clinical trial and post-marketing data confirm that Zovirax Cream is a safe and well tolerated treatment. There is a low rate of adverse events, which have been clearly identified, are generally mild and transient, and do not require withdrawal of treatment. Topical application of the whole tube would not lead to any adverse effects. No other toxic effects are likely from the other components of the cream.
Conversely as Zovirax cream is well tolerated, even to damaged skin, misapplication to other peri oral lesions would not be expected to aggravate or mask symptoms, or to adversely affect the systemic profile. In the rare event of confusion with acne, boils, insect bites, the use of Zovirax cream would not be expected to lead to serious consequence. Therefore the use of Zovirax Cream does not present a risk of masking serious disease.
