Zovirax is an established brand offering antiviral products for cold sore relief, available in cream and oral formulations including 200mg tablets and liquid. The cream contains aciclovir 5% and is applied directly to the affected area at the first sign of a cold sore; tablets and liquid are available on prescription only and are not stocked or advertised here as over-the-counter options. Choosing between Zovirax Cold Sore Cream and other topical options depends on how quickly you begin treatment. Applying the cream at the tingling or itching stage, before a visible blister forms, is widely considered the most effective approach. Zovirax cream is available without a prescription in Ireland. Always read the patient information leaflet before use, and speak to your pharmacist if you have any questions about suitability. Ronaghan's Pharmacy stocks Zovirax cold sore cream alongside a broader range of skincare and dermatological products.
