CLASSIFICATION:
This medicine is for general sale in New Zealand from a pharmacy.
PURPOSE:
Viraban Cold Sore Cream contains the antiviral agent aciclovir
for treating cold sores before they start. Viraban Cold Sore Cream
can stop a cold sore appearing if used at the tingle stage (this
is when you feel a tingling, burning or itching sensation).
The tingle means the cold sore countdown is on. It's important to use Viraban Cold Sore Cream straight away as this stage may only last 24 hours.
Viraban can even be used if the cold sore has already started. Once the cold sore has broken through the skin, healing can take up to 10 to 12 days. Using Viraban in the early stages can speed up the healing time by days. So if a cold sore does appear continue to use Viraban.
Whether you're feeling the tingle that indicates a cold sore is coming, or you already have one, use Viraban Cold Sore Cream.
There are 4 stages of a cold sore. You can use scientifically proven Viraban Cold Sore Cream at any stage to lessen its impact on your life.
Tingle Stage (day 1)
Your skin tingles and itches and you know a cold sore is on its
way. Treat this symptom with Viraban Cold Sore Cream and you could
stop the coldsore appearing. Remember, when you sense the tingle,
the cold sore countdown is on. This stage may only last 24 hours
so it's important to use Viraban Cold Sore Cream right away.
Blister Stage (days 2-4)
A small, raised blotch swells and forms a painful single blister
or cluster of blisters. When the blister first breaks through
the skin, healing can take up to 10 to 12 days. Apply Viraban
Cold Sore Cream now and you could speed the process by days. Carry
on using it if your coldsore does develop.
Weeping Stage (days 5-8)
Now the blisters collapse and join up to form a large, weeping
sore. The virus can spread very easily at this stage. Most people
find this the most embarrassing stage.
Scab Stage (days 9-12)
The blisters begin to dry out and heal. A scab begins to form.
If picked at, the scab may crack painfully and bleed.
Keep Viraban with you at all times so you can treat your next
cold sore as soon as you feel the tingle. Wash your hands before
and after treating your coldsore so you don't make it worse or
infect someone else.
DOSAGE:
Apply Viraban to the affected area 5 times a day, (about every
4 hours). If you forget a treatment of Viraban, apply some as
soon as you remember and continue as before. Continue treatment
with Viraban for 5 days. If full healing has still not occurred
after 10 days, or if your cold sore becomes very severe, consult
your pharmacist. Do not exceed the stated dose.
