Reactivation of the herpes virus
Once in the body, the virus travels through the sensory nerves corresponding to the infected territory and is housed in a nerve ganglion where it remains "asleep".
At any time, under various influences (concomitant infection, fatigue, etc.), the virus multiplies and, along the nerves, returns to colonize the territory of the initially infected skin, causing much less extensive but often recurring lesions. It is then that cold sores or "cold sores" appear.
Apply the cream on the lesions (exclusively on the lips) and around the lesions 5 times a day.
The active substance is :
Aciclovir ................................................. .................................................. ............................... 50.00 mg

Health Education Council:
Cold sores or cold sores are due to an infection caused by a virus called Herpes Simplex . After a primary infection, the virus persists in the body without causing symptoms.
During an event such as fatigue, menstruation, fever, emotion or sun exposure, the virus can sometimes be reactivated and cause the appearance of vesicles (blisters) in bouquets around the lips, called fever. These vesicles are contagious until the appearance of scabs, sign of scarring.
There are warning signs located at the usual location of the lesion, which usually result in burning and / or tingling sensations.
These signs are important to know:
· it is as soon as they appear that the treatment must be started which prevents viral multiplication and makes it possible to prevent or limit the development of the cold sore,
· it is also as soon as they appear that you must respect the rules of hygiene which are given to you in the heading "precautions of use", in order to reduce the risk of transmission of the virus.
On the other hand, aciclovir can not act on viruses that persist latently in the body and aciclovir does not prevent the occurrence of recurrences after the interruption of treatment.
