Description of Abreva

Abreva (docosanol)

Abreva is the only over the counter cold sore medication to contain the active ingredient docosanol. Abreva and its patented active ingredient docosanol help to protect the healthy cells from a cold sore infection. Other non-prescription medications only offer to treat the symptoms and at most offers temporary relief. Abreva is a different type of cold sore medication; it is formulated to help speed up the healing process. Abreva penetrates the skin and protects the healthy cells from the virus that causes cold sores. To help protect the healthy cells against the cold sore infection, Abreva changes the cell membrane. It is this changing of the cell membrane that creates a barrier and makes the cell harder for the virus to infect. Because Abreva is used to help protect the healthy cells you need to apply Abreva at the first sign of any symptoms. These may include but are not limited to tingling, redness, bump and or itchiness. Once you start applying Abreva you will need to continue to apply it to the infected area up to five times a day. Continue to use Abreva until the cold sores are gone. It is important to remember to use Abreva at the first signs of a cold sore outbreak. Ensure that before and after applying Abreva you wash your hands. Abreva is safe and generally well tolerated and can be used with children 12 years of age and older. If you or someone that is close to you have ever suffered from cold sores, you know the discomfort and pain that they can cause. Getting rid of cold sore will allow you to return to your normal life and live it to the fullest. Get your non-prescription Abreva from Canada at exceptional savings.
