This medication is used for infections caused by the herpes simplex virus, particularly for initial and recurrent genital herpes and cold sores.

This medication should not be used by individuals who are hypersensitive to its components or have previously experienced allergic reactions. Additionally, it is safest not to administer this drug to nursing women and children. Individuals with weakened immune systems, such as AIDS patients or those who have undergone bone marrow transplants, should use this drug with extra caution. This medication contains an ingredient called propylene glycol, which requires caution for those who are allergic or sensitive to it. While using this medication, if there are ulcers in the genital area, you may experience tenderness or discomfort. Temporary tingling, mild pain, dermatitis, redness, itching, rash, etc. may occur, so symptoms should be monitored closely. Skin dryness or peeling may also occur. It is advisable to start treatment as soon as the symptoms first appear, and to strictly adhere to the designated dosage and duration. Use without symptoms or for preventative purposes is not recommended. Do not mix or dilute this medication with other drugs. No specific interactions with other medications have been reported; however, blood levels may change when used with some systemic medications, so caution is advised.

Nursing women should avoid breastfeeding while using this drug, as it may be transmitted to the baby through breast milk. This medication is for external use only and may cause irritation if applied to mucous membranes such as the eyes, mouth, or vagina.
