DENAVIR DRUG INFO
Why is this medication prescribed?
Penciclovir is used on the lips and faces of adults to treat cold sores caused by herpes simplex virus. Penciclovir does not cure herpes infections but decreases pain and itching if applied when the earliest symptoms first appear.
Denavir is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
How should I use Denavir?
Use penciclovir topical exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand these directions, ask your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist to explain them to you.
Penciclovir topical should be applied to cold sore lesions every 2 hours while awake for a period of four days, unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
Denavir should be used to treat cold sores on the lips and face only.
For best results, treatment with penciclovir topical should begin as soon as possible after symptoms appear.
Do not apply penciclovir topical to the inside of the nose or in or near the eyes, as it may cause irritation.
Store Denavir at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
Continue to use penciclovir even if you feel well. Do not stop using penciclovir without talking to your doctor.
What special precautions should I follow?
Before using penciclovir,
- tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to penciclovir, acyclovir (Zovirax), or any other drugs.
- tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications you are taking, including vitamins.
- tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while taking penciclovir, call your doctor.
What should I do if I forget a dose of Denavir?
Apply the missed dose as soon as you remember it and apply any remaining doses for that day at evenly spaced intervals. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not apply a double dose to make up for a missed one.

What other information should I know?
Keep all appointments with your doctor. Denavir should only be used on the lips and face. Avoid getting it in your eyes. Keep the infected area clean and dry.
Do not let anyone else use your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription. If you still have symptoms of infection after you finish the penciclovir, call your doctor.
