Please follow insert directions for proper use and refer to the information below. You are not alone An 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 a cold sore is coming, and to be sure to avoid close physical contact when you have one. Getting to the root of the problem A 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 better A 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. 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.
Preparation & Usage
How to use your ABREVA Pump - For Adults and Children 12 years and over - ABREVA should be used five times a day until the cold sore is healed. Apply it directly to the cold sore at the first sign of a tingle, redness, bump or itch for best results. - If you wish, you can apply cosmetics such as lipstick over ABREVA. However, use a separate applicator, like a cotton swab, to apply cosmetics over an unhealed cold sore to avoid spreading the infection. For best results, remove any cosmetics prior to applying ABREVA. Step 1 - Wash your hands before and after treating the cold sore. Step 2 - Remove cap and press pump firmly. When first used, expect to press pump completely about 6-8 times before obtaining first dose. Step 3 - Rub in gently but completely 5 times a day until healed for maximum of 10 days. Step 4 - Place cap back on pump after each use. Press pump completely about 6-8 times to get first dose.
