€5.85

If you're suffering from cold sores use Acic Cold Sore 5% w/w Cream which is indicated for the treatment of Herpes simplex virus infections of the skin, lips and face (recurrent herpes labialis). This will provide the much needed relief from such infections. This cream belongs to a group of medicines that treat viral infections and is primarily used to treat cold sores. The cream consists of white to off-white texture and is supplied in a 2g tube. If the cold sore has not healed after a total of 10 days, stop using the cream and tell your doctor.

The first sign of a cold sore is seeing skin blisters or being able to recognise the 'tingle' sensation that means that a blister will appear soon. This anti-viral products work by interfering with the viruses ability to replicate, allowing the body's immune system to eliminate the virus. After applying the cream if the cold sore has not healed after a total of 10 days, stop using and tell your doctor. If you also feel your cold sore is getting worse tell your doctor.
