• Herpes labialis, more commonly known as cold sores, is a prevalent viral infection that primarily manifests on the lips. The initial symptoms often involve a burning or tingling sensation, followed by the appearance of small, painful blisters or sores. These sores can be unsightly and cause considerable discomfort. OCUVIR SKIN CREAM 10 GM is a topical antiviral medication specifically designed to combat the herpes simplex virus, which is responsible for cold sores.
• OCUVIR SKIN CREAM 10 GM works by inhibiting the virus's ability to replicate, thereby reducing the severity and duration of the outbreak. When applied topically to the affected area as soon as symptoms appear, it can significantly speed up the healing process. This means you can experience relief from the pain and discomfort associated with cold sores more quickly, and the sores may disappear sooner than they would without treatment.
• Furthermore, consistent and proper use of OCUVIR SKIN CREAM 10 GM, as directed by your healthcare provider, can also help prevent the recurrence of cold sores. By keeping the virus in check, the cream can reduce the frequency and intensity of future outbreaks. It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed treatment regimen and continue using the medication for the entire duration recommended by your doctor to achieve the maximum therapeutic benefit.

• OCUVIR SKIN CREAM 1 GM is exclusively for external application. It is crucial to adhere to your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and treatment duration for optimal results. Prior to use, carefully examine the product label for comprehensive directions and precautions.
• Before applying OCUVIR SKIN CREAM 1 GM, ensure that the affected skin area is thoroughly cleaned and dried to promote absorption and effectiveness. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area, gently rubbing it in until fully absorbed.
• It is important to wash your hands meticulously with soap and water immediately after application, unless the affected area includes your hands. This prevents the spread of infection to other areas of your body or to other individuals.
• If you are applying the cream to treat a hand infection, avoid washing your hands immediately after application. Allow the cream to remain on your hands for the prescribed duration to maximize its therapeutic effect.
• Avoid covering the treated area with airtight dressings or bandages unless specifically instructed by your healthcare provider. This is to prevent over absorption of the medicine.
• If irritation occurs, discontinue use and seek medical advice.
