Acyclovir
Q. What is ZosTER Cream used for?
ZosTER Cream is used for treating herpes simplex infections of the skin and lips (cold sores, also called herpes labialis) and for initial genital herpes. It helps sores heal faster and reduces pain when used as directed.
Q. When should I start applying medicine?
Start treatment as soon as you notice the first symptoms (tingling, itching, redness) or when a lesion appears. Early use gives the best chance of shortening the episode.

ZosTER Cream can speed healing and reduce pain, but there are no data showing it helps prevent transmission. Avoid contact (kissing or sexual contact) while sores are present, and follow good hygiene to reduce spread.
