Docosanol 10% (Docosanol Cream 10 Percent Ene 0 07 1)
Docosanol Cream is a non-prescription cold sore medication that can help prevent and shorten the healing time of cold sores. It is a topical cream that should be applied at the very start of the cold sore outbreak. Early use of Docosanol Cream can be more effective in reducing the symptoms such as tingling, pain, itching, and burning. The cream is intended for individuals aged 12 and above, and it should be applied five times a day until the cold sore is healed. Cosmetics such as lipstick may be applied over the cream, but a separate applicator should be used to avoid spreading the infection.*
