Xerclear® - Treatment of labial herpes (cold sores)

In 2009, Xerclear® (Zoviduo®) was approved for the treatment of labial herpes. The marketing rights to Xerclear® in the USA, Canada and Mexico were divested in 2010. The corresponding rights in Europe and the rest of the world have been out-licensed to Glaxo­SmithKline, with the exception of China, where Medivir has appointed a local distributor, and Israel and South America where Medivir has retained the rights.
