Description

hat it is:
ZOVIRAX Eye Ointment is a prescription antiviral ophthalmic ointment used to treat herpes simplex virus infections of the eye, especially herpetic keratitis — a viral infection that affects the cornea and can cause pain, redness, tearing, and vision problems.

How it works:
Its active ingredient is Acyclovir 3% w/w, an antiviral agent that inhibits viral DNA polymerase, blocking viral replication and helping to control the spread of the herpes virus on the surface of the eye.

Form & Use:
This product is supplied as an ophthalmic ointment (4.5 g tube). It is applied inside the lower eyelid of the affected eye several times a day as directed by a doctor. Proper hygiene and careful application are important to avoid contamination or irritation.

Key Benefits:
• Targets and slows replication of herpes virus on the eye surface
• Helps reduce symptoms and promote healing in herpetic keratitis
• Antiviral treatment specific for ocular herpes infections

Important Notes:
• Requires doctor’s prescription and supervision.
• Should not be used for non-viral eye infections (e.g., bacterial conjunctivitis).
• Avoid wearing contact lenses while using this ointment.
• Follow your eye specialist’s instructions for dosage and duration to ensure effective treatment and reduce risk of complications.
