Do you suffer from recurrent outbreaks of cold sores?
Did you know your pharmacist can now recommend a single dose anti-viral treatment to relieve your symptoms and shorten the duration of your cold sore?
Cold sores are caused by the HSV-1 (Herpes simplex type 1) virus.The virus is acquired from close contact with an infected person, often a parent or relative when you were a child.
Cold sores usually appear on or around the lips, mouth or nose. They first appear as small red bumps that turn into fluid-filled blisters.These blisters may weep or burst and then form a shallow ulcer with a yellow crust that eventually drops off. Cold sores are often painful and unsightly.
Many people know when a cold sore is coming as they experience a tingling, burning, itching sensation or redness in the area. These signs mean the virus is rapidly reproducing.
This is the best time to treat your cold sore!
Recent studies show that starting anti-viral treatment before the appearance of blisters significantly reduces the severity and duration of your cold sore outbreak.
The newest anti-viral cold sore treatment available from your Pharmacist involves only a single-dose! Topical anti-viral creams need to be applied every few hours for up to four days to produce the same results! It is called Dynamiclear.
If you suffer from recurrent cold sores visit our pharmacists at Cranes to see whether this new breakthrough in cold sore treatment will work for you!
