Uses of Lovir Eye Ointment 4.5gm

Lovir Eye Ointment 4.5gm is used to treat infections caused by herpes viruses, including cold sores, genital herpes, shingles and chickenpox. It also helps prevent repeated outbreaks of genital herpes and protects people with weakened immunity from herpes infections. It works best when started early, ideally at the first tingle or as soon as the rash appears. It controls outbreaks but does not remove the virus from the body.

How Lovir Eye Ointment 4.5gm works

Acyclovir is taken up by cells infected with the herpes virus and converted into an active form that blocks the enzyme the virus uses to copy its DNA. The virus can no longer multiply, so the outbreak heals faster and symptoms are less severe, while healthy cells are largely unaffected.

Possible side effects

Most people find Lovir Eye Ointment 4.5gm easy to take. Side effects that may occur include:

• Headache

• Diarrhoea

Precautions and warnings

• Start treatment as early as possible for the best effect.
• Drink plenty of fluids while taking tablets, especially if you are older or have kidney problems.
• Tell your doctor about kidney disease, as the dose may need adjusting.
• Genital herpes can still be passed on during treatment, so avoid sexual contact while sores are present.
