Retain this insert for full product uses, directions and warnings.Non-prescription cold sore medicine to shorten healing time and duration of symptoms.If you are not completely satisfied, save receipt and remaining product, and call us at 1-877-709-3539.Thank you for puchasing ABREVA (R). We hope that since ABREVA shortens the healing time of cold sores, it helps you look and feel better faster. Please follow insert directions for proper use and refer to the information below. You are not aloneAn estimated one-in-five Americans is affected by cold sores each year. Most people who experience them get two to three cold sore outbreaks each year. Just before and during an outbreak, the cold sore infection can be easily passed on to others. It is especially important to be aware of early warning signs that cold sore is coming, and to be sure to avoid close physical contact when you have one.Getting to the Root of the ProblemA blister, or cluster of blisters around your mouth, is caused by the cold sore virus. After the cold sore has healed, the virus stays dormant in your body but can be reactivated by everyday triggers like stress, sunlight, extreme hot or cold weather, colds and flu, lack of sleep, or menstruation.The Sooner, the BetterA typical cold sore outbreak can last as long as seven to ten days. The sooner you begin using ABREVA, the more effective the medicine will be. So for best results, use ABREVA at the very start of the cold sore when you feel the first sign of the tingle, redness, bump or itch.ABREVA is different from other over-the-counter cold sore products. Only ABREVA contains 10% docosanol, which helps to shorten the healing time of cold sores and the duration of symptoms including tingling, pain, itching and burning.
