WHAT IS VECTAVIR CREAM
Advanced anti-viral treatment. Vectavir heals your cold sore fast even if applied after the cold sore has begun to develop. Nothing is clinically proven to be more effective for the treatment of cold sores.
HOW DO YOU USE VECTAVIR?
Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if
you are not sure.
Use the cream as early as possible after early symptoms (tingling and itching) appear. However, the cream can still be applied at the first sign of a cold sore. Always wash your hands before and after applying the cream. Squeeze a small amount onto your finger and apply to the affected area. Optionally, for packs which are supplied with clean, single use applicators, these may be used instead of your finger, if desired. Apply every 2 hours throughout the day (approximately 8 times a day) for 4 consecutive days.
You should see your doctor if your symptoms persist or worsen at any time, or if your cold sore does not improve after 4 days of treatment
USE OF VECTAVIR
Vectavir is used for the treatment of cold sores (Herpes labialis). A cold sore is caused by a viral infection. The virus can remain inactive for extended periods of time, but when triggered the virus multiplies and a cold sore develops. This can occur, for example when you are run-down, when you have a cold or flu, or when you have been out in strong sunlight. The virus causes painful blistering of the lips.
Vectavir contains penciclovir and is an antiviral medicine which stops the virus multiplying. Applying Vectavir means your cold sore heals faster and the duration of pain will be shorter. The time your cold sore is infectious will also be shorter, although applying Vectavir will not stop you spreading your cold sores to another person
SIDE EFFECTS
Some common side effects (may affect up to 1 in 10 people) are: burning, stinging or numbness when the cream is applied. The effects will usually go away quickly.
Some people have also reported allergic-type reactions such as allergic dermatitis, rash, hives, itching
and swelling
