Acic 5% Cream is a reliable, effective treatment for the early stages of a cold sore. By stopping the virus from replicating, the acyclovir in this cream helps to speed up the healing process and reduces the duration of the outbreak. It is most effective when applied at the very first sign of a cold sore—often felt as a "tingle" or itch before the blister actually appears—but can still be effective if applied during the blister stage.
Key Features
Antiviral Action: Contains 5% w/w Acyclovir to halt viral replication.
Targeted Relief: Designed specifically for cold sores on the lips and face.
Compact Size: The 2g tube is perfect for carrying in a pocket or handbag to ensure you have it ready the moment a symptom arises.
Effective Duration: Proven to shorten the healing time of cold sores.
How to Use
Frequency: Apply a thin layer to the affected area 5 times daily, approximately every 4 hours.
Hygiene: It is recommended to use a cotton bud to apply the cream. If you use your finger, wash it thoroughly before and after application to prevent spreading the virus to your eyes or other skin areas.
Duration: Use for at least 4 days. If the sore has not healed after 4 days, continue for up to 10 days in total. If it persists beyond 10 days, consult your GP.
Safety Warnings & Restrictions
Pharmacy Only (P): While sold OTC, a pharmacist will verify that this is the correct treatment for your condition.
Application Areas: Do not apply inside the mouth, in the vagina, or anywhere near the eyes.
Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Consult your pharmacist or doctor before use.
Side Effects: May cause mild, temporary stinging or burning upon application, or mild skin dryness.
Storage: Do not refrigerate; store in the original package at room temperature (below 25°C).
