WARNING:
Denavir is approved
for the treatment of acute outbreaks of cold sores ADULTS with NORMAL immune
systems only! There are no adequate studies of Denavir
during pregnancy, therefore Denavir should
not be used by pregnant women or nursing woman. Once infected, the
herpes virus stays in your body forever. You are most contagious
during active cold sore outbreaks, taking Denavir shortens the duration
of the cold sore by at least one-half but does not necessarily affect
your being contagious to others. Even when you have no active lesions
you could still be shedding the virus in your saliva. To minimize
spreading of the virus, refrain from kissing when you have open lesions
and minimize touching of lesions.
Denavir should
only be applied externally to the lips and face. Denavir should NEVER
be applied to mucous membranes, inside the mouth, or for genital herpes.
Use caution and do not get in eyes. Denavir is to be used externally,
topically only! If ingested by mistake call 911 immediately or your
local poison center for emergency treatment.
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION:
Denavir is not
a cure for cold sores and transmission of infection to others can
occur during asymptomatic viral shedding even when there are no lesions
present. Denavir does not alter the need for
precaution in spreading the disease to others. |
