Abreva is the only non-prescription cold sore medicine approved by the FDA.


What is Abreva?
Abreva is the only non-prescription cold sore medicine FDA approved to shorten healing time and duration of symptoms. That's why it's the number one Pharmacist recommended cold sore medication.

While other products just soothe, Abreva goes deep in the skin to help heal cold sores from the inside out...Fast! Abreva is available in two formats; a convenient tube to keep Abreva ever-ready at home, and now a new easy-to-use pump for a clean and easy application on the go.

When Should I Use Abreva?
Start applying Abreva the moment you feel a cold sore coming on, when you feel that tingle, itch and/or burning sensation. If you miss the tingle stage, start using Abreva as soon as you can, and apply it five times a day until your cold sore is healed.

How Does Abreva Work?
Abreva contains 10 percent Docosanol, a unique patented active ingredient that helps protect healthy cells from the cold sore virus. As Abreva helps the healthy cells defend the cold sore virus, the virus has a difficult time infecting more and more cells. This means cold sores heal faster and symptoms don't last as long.


Why Use Abreva?
Other cold sore treatments only relieve symptoms, so they can't match the healing power of Abreva. Just check out the interactive demo to see the Abreva difference.

Plus, Abreva offers a Money-Back Guaranteee. If you aren't completely satisfied for any reason, save your receipt and remaining product, and call 1-877-709-3539 to receive a full refund.

Abbreva is the Best Over The Counter Medication for Cold Sores - Says Dentist
I am a dentist who sees a lot of people with cold sores, which is reactivation of the Herpes virus. The cold sore is the virus replicating usually as a result of some sort of stress that decreases one's the immune system. Abbreva has been shown in clinical studies to be effective, but the key with this treatment or any other for that matter is to start when you first feel the tingling of another cold sore coming on. If you wait and the cold sore erupts, virtually nothing will relieve it except time and your own immune response. So start applying Abbreva immediately for the best chance to limit the development of the cold sore. Your dentist or doctor can prescribe anti-virals in either a topical form or a tablet form for severe cold sore cases, but once again, if it is not started immediately, the cold sore will develop and stay with you for 10 days or so. Ask for Zovirax or Denavir. Always use a lip balm with sunscreen and too much...
A miracle of modern science...despite the price!
I hate cold sores. I HATE them. I hate them with such unbridled fury and passion that if I were to be judged at the time of my death, and the subject of my blistering hatred came up(no pun intended), Heaven wouldn't want me, and Hell would just plain fear me. But after so many years of putting up with this plague, there is a solution. I usually get fever sores(cold sores) about 8-10 times a year. Usually every 2 months, I get a new outbreak around my lips. It could be a minor outbreak, with a simple little bump on the upper or lower lip, or a grotesque outbreak cluster of about 4-7 sores at once. Usually, these sores last 1-2 weeks, sometimes longer. The day I discovered Abreva, that all changed. As it states, Abreva cuts down the duration of cold sores quite dramatically. If you manage to detect a cold sore as it just begins to form (usually indicated by a burning or tingling sensation on the lip area), application of Abreva will possibly event...

Zilactin is wonderful
I have had to deal with fever blisters on my lips for years. I tried many different meds with little success. One summer while vacationing in Canada, I discovered Zilactin. I started using it and within a couple of days, my fever blisters were almost gone. I have been using Zilactin ever since. The first sign of a fever blister, I start applying Zilactin to the area and most times the blister never materializes and, if it does it is only a very minor problem. Zilatin burns a little when you first apply it but the results are wonderful. I will never purchase another cold sore/fever blister medication as long as I can find Zilactin. I usually buy several tubes at a time just so I don't get caught without it. If I can't find it in local drug stores, I can always depend on finding it here at Amazon. WONDERFUL STUFF!!!!!
The best for cold sores
Ive been using this stuff for a couple years and it is by far the best medicine for cold sores. Half the cost of abreva and 10 times more effective
The Best for Cold Sores
I've been getting cold sores due to stress and winter weather since I was a kid and Zilactin is by far the best stuff I've ever used on them. Abreva doesn't even come close.

Unbelievable
If I don't take 1000mg of lysine per day (and sometimes even if I do), cold sores pop up and I'm stuck with the various creams or gels to treat them. I decided to try the Virulite because my favorite gel went off the market and I'm tired of taking so much lysine daily. So I stopped taking the lysine and sure enough - the tingling started. I used the Virulite and the next morning, no cold sore. Later that day, the tingling started again. So I used the virulite and again, no cold sore developed. I'm absolutely amazed! I hoped the product would work, but I never expected such impressive results. I'm completely off my lysine and have no cold sores. I wish I'd found this product years ago! EDIT: Recently I had a cold with a high fever, which is usually a guaranteed cold sore. I felt the itch and noticed a bump on my lip, so I used the virulite. The itch and the bump went away almost immediately. No true cold sore developed. This happened twice over the duration of...
Works
I wasn't sure if this did anything at first but after getting a cold sore I did notice that it took a couple days off the healing time which made me happy. If you catch the cold sore early enough it seems to kill it but once the little blisters develop all you can hope for is that it will shave a couple days off. I think it works well in combination with a lysine regime. I'd try it and see if it works for you, it's expensive but I'd say it was worth it.
This Really Works!
There is real science to back up that these device really do work, because I investigated it before buying one.The British Association of Dermatology published a paper in March 2001 to show that treatment with the particular narrowband of light that this device emits reduced cold sore healing by 50% compared to the creams alone.And I have found in practice that these device actually perform considerably better then that.If you use it when you feel the tingle, then most of the time they don't develop at all.I have to admit that I was still sceptical about this device, because being a cold sore sufferer for years it seemed highly unlikely that the best solution was available on Amazon!However, boldness definitely pays off if you are willing to take a leap of faith and actually test this out for yourself.As another reviewer alluded to the design of this device is a little odd, because the light that it emits is...
