Cymex Ultra is used for the treatment of cold sores. The active ingredient is aciclovir, an antiviral agent. Apply at the first signs of a cold sore (such as tingling and itching). It can also be used to speed up healing if one has already appeared.

Like all medicines Cymex Ultra can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.

Stop using the medicine and tell your doctor if you experience:

Allergy-like reactions, for example swelling of the lips, face and eyelids.
The following side effects could also occur:

Mild burning or stinging after application. This will quickly go away.
Redness, itching or a mild drying or flaking of the skin, skin rashes, hives or weals.

Before taking any medication, it is important to read the Patient Information Leaflet. You can find information leaflets for your medicines by typing them into the search bar at medicines.org, or by contacting us.

• If your cold sore hasn’t healed fully after 10 days, or if it gets worse at any time, contact your doctor.

• Treat your cold sore for 4 full days to ensure rapid healing.

• Apply liberally to the affected area 5 times a day.
