Denavir (Penciclovir) Cream 1% Denavir cream belongs to the group of drugs called antivirals. Penciclovir cream is used in the treatment of sores and blisters caused by certain diseases of viral origin. It is used in the treatment of cold sores that are formed on the lips in the case of herpes simplex. It is also used to treat fever blisters. The sores associated with viral infections are also called herpes labialis. Denavir cream helps in speeding up the healing of these sores. Furthermore, it decreases the symptoms associated with these sores like tingling, pain, burning, and itching. Penciclovir acts by stopping the growth of the virus. It is important to consider that Denavir cream does not cure, it only treats these sores. It does not prevent the passing of the infection to other people. Also, it does not prevent future recurrences. Denavir cream is available on your physician's prescription. You can also buy Denavir cream online from Canada Pharmacy.
