Zovirax 10Mg Cream

Zovirax 10Mg Cream is a medication used to treat viral infections, particularly those caused by the herpes simplex virus. This product belongs to the class of antiviral medications and works to reduce the symptoms associated with this infection.

Zovirax contains the active ingredient acyclovir, which works by inhibiting the replication of the virus within cells. Acyclovir is converted to an active form inside infected cells, preventing the virus from using the host cell's DNA to produce new copies of itself. This helps to reduce the duration and severity of symptoms and promotes quick recovery from the infection.
