Xerese cream will not cure or prevent herpes, but it can lessen the symptoms of the infection.
Herpes infections are contagious and you can infect other people, even while you are being treated with Xerese. Acyclovir and hydrocortisone will not prevent the spread of genital herpes. Avoid sexual intercourse or use a latex condom to prevent spreading the virus to others.
Xerese is for use for cold sores on the lips and around the mouth. This medication will not treat herpes lesions that affect the genitals or the eyes.
Use this medication for the full prescribed length of time. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cleared.
Stop using Xerese and call your doctor at once if you have severe burning, stinging, or irritation of treated skin.
Before taking this medicine
Tell your doctor if you have ever had a weak immune system (caused by disease by or using certain medicines).
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Xerese Cream is not approved for use by anyone younger than 6 years old.
