Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Zovirax Cream, which contains the active ingredient Acyclovir, is a medication used to treat herpes viruses. Acyclovir works by stopping the virus from making copies of itself, helping to lessen the spread and seriousness of the infection. This cream is designed to be applied directly to the skin. People use Zovirax Cream to manage outbreaks of herpes simplex virus, like cold sores that usually appear on the lips and face.
Zovirax Cream 5% is used for treating cold sores and should be applied five times a day, covering the affected area. It's most effective when started at the first sign of a cold sore and should be used for four days, with an option to extend it to ten days if there's no healing. Make sure to wash your hands before and after applying the cream to avoid spreading the virus. Remember, while the cream helps manage outbreaks, it doesn't cure herpes, as the virus can reactivate later. If there's no improvement after the treatment period, consult a healthcare professional.
The active ingredient in Zovirax is Acyclovir.
