- Topical acyclovir comes as a cream and an ointment to apply to the skin. Acyclovir cream is usually applied five times a day for 4 days. Acyclovir cream may be applied at any time during a cold sore outbreak, but it works best when it is applied at the very beginning of a cold sore outbreak, when there is tingling, redness, itching, or a bump but the cold sore has not yet formed. Acyclovir ointment is usually applied six times a day (usually 3 hours apart) for 7 days. It is best to begin using acyclovir ointment as soon as possible after you experience the first symptoms of infection. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Use topical acyclovir exactly as directed. Do not use more or less of it or use it more often than prescribed by your doctor.

Bennetts Saline Nose Spray 30ml
KShs 930.00- Description
- Bennetts Saline Nose Spray is a non-medicated, alcohol-free formula that provides relief from blocked or dry noses. Assists in breaking down the mucous and also moisturizes dry nasal passages. Will not irritate or sting baby’s nostrils and can be used as often as necessary to maintain nasal hygiene.
- How to use
- 1. Make sure you have the proper tools—sterile saline nose drops (can be purchased at any pharmacy or grocery store) and a clean bulb syringe.
2. Hold your baby upright or at a slightly reclined position in your lap, resting her head back on one of your arms.
3.Take the saline drops and place 2 or 3 drops in one nostril.
4. Wait a few seconds to allow the saline to get into the nose.
5.Take the bulb syringe and squeeze the bulb end closed—pushing the air out of it—while it is pointing away from your baby.
6.Keeping the bulb squeezed, place the small tip of the bulb syringe in the nostril that you put the saline drops in.
7.Release the bulb. The suction created when air rushes back into the bulb syringe will suck the mucus and extra saline out of your baby’s nose.
8. Squeeze the bulb syringe into the sink or a cop to expel the mucus inside.
9. Wait a minute or so before going to the other nostril. This will give you time to calm your child if she upset or crying.
