Vectavir tinted cream for cold sores is intended for the treatment of cold sores. Cold sores are caused by a viral infection. The virus can remain inactive for a long time, but if it becomes active, it will multiply and develop cold sores. This can happen, for example, if you are exhausted, have the flu or a cold, or if you have been exposed to excessive sunlight. The virus causes painful blisters on the lips. The preparation can be used by adults and adolescents from 12 years of age.
Vectavir tinted cold sore cream contains the active substance penciclovir and belongs to a group of antiviral drugs that stop the virus from multiplying.
Preparation:
- relieves the pain of cold sores,
- accelerates healing,
- shortens the time that cold sores are contagious.
However, using Vectavir Tinted Cold Sore Cream will not prevent the cold sore from spreading to other people.
The package contains 2 g.
Dosage and method of use
Adults, including those over 60, and adolescents over 12:
Treatment should be started as soon as possible, before the cold sore appears, i.e. when you feel burning or itching. However, the cream is effective even if you start using it only after the cold sore appears. Wash your hands thoroughly before and after using the cream. Squeeze a small amount of cream onto your finger and apply to the affected area. Optionally, if you wish, for packs that come with clean disposable applicators, you can use them instead of your fingers.
During the day, apply the cream to the affected area every 2 hours (approximately 8 times a day) for 4 days. Do not spread the cream. Use the cream for 4 days.
If your symptoms persist or worsen, or if there is no improvement after 4 days of treatment, see a doctor.
