## Description

EZOVIR is an antiviral medicine used to treat recurrent outbreaks of cold sores in adults 18 years of age and over who have a normal immune system. Although EZOVIR does not cure the viral infection, it helps to relieve the symptoms and shorten the duration of an outbreak.

Cold sores usually begin on or around the lips, mouth, and nose as small red bumps that turn into fluid-filled blisters that can be tender and painful. Many people who get cold sores know when one is coming by a tingling, burning, itchy or painful sensation or redness in the area.

Cold sores can be unpredictable. The virus can become active again in the body, even after many years, resulting in recurrent outbreaks. For best results start the medicine as soon as possible after the onset of symptoms of a cold sore, such as tingling, itching or burning, or the appearance of the first signs, such as redness or swelling. This is when the virus is reproducing rapidly.
## Ingredients

EZOVIR Cold Sore Relief tablets contains 500 mg of famciclovir as the active ingredient.

The tablets also contain the following inactive ingredients: •microcrystalline cellulose  
•crospovidone  
•silicon dioxide

## Directions for Use

**Follow all directions given to you by your pharmacist or doctor carefully.** 

If you do not understand the instructions on the label, ask your pharmacist or doctor for help.

Take EZOVIR as soon as possible after the first symptoms (e.g., tingling, itching or burning) or signs (e.g., redness or swelling) of a cold sore appear.

Do not take the tablets if a hard crust has already formed on the cold sore.

The usual dose is three 500 mg tablets taken together as a single dose.

However, if you have problems with your kidneys and your pharmacist has referred you to your doctor to see if this medicine is suitable for you, your doctor may have recommended a different dose.

**Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you are unsure of the correct dose for you.**
