Overview Setuvir Cream

Herpetic skin infections, like cold sores (herpes labialis), respond to treatment with Setuvir Cream, an antiviral topical medication. This cream inhibits viral replication within skin cells, promoting lesion clearance. Strictly for external application, Setuvir Cream should be used precisely as prescribed. Ensure the affected area is clean and dry before applying. Always wash hands thoroughly before and after use. Avoid unnecessary touching of sores with hands or towels to prevent spread.
