Herpex 5% Cream

Product Introduction

Herpex 5% Cream is a topical antiviral formulation used to treat skin infections caused by the Herpes simplex virus, including cold sores (herpes labialis). The cream works by blocking the multiplication of the virus in skin cells, which helps reduce the spread of infection, eases discomfort, and promotes faster healing of blisters and lesions.

This cream is for external use only and should be applied exactly as directed by your doctor. Consistent application for the recommended duration ensures maximum benefit and lowers the chances of recurrence.
