For over 25 years now, prescription ZOVIRAX® (acyclovir) Ointment 5% has been the only ointment indicated to help people manage their initial genital herpes outbreaks. And while ZOVIRAX Ointment does not prevent the spreading of genital herpes, it does attack the herpes virus and stop it from copying itself.
This prescription-strength ointment contains acyclovir, which was one of the first antivirals approved by the FDA. In fact, prescription ZOVIRAX Ointment contains 5% acyclovir. This active ingredient was a medical breakthrough in the 1970s and is still used today. When it comes to genital herpes, ZOVIRAX Ointment is the only ointment that helps manage the itching and pain associated with an initial outbreak.
