Docosanol 10% (Docosanol Cream Encube 1)
Docosanol Cream is a non-prescription cold sore medicine for topical use only that can shorten healing time and the duration of symptoms, including tingling, pain, itching, and burning. The product contains 10% docosanol and is different from other over-the-counter cold sore products. It is suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and over, and should be applied five times a day until the cold sore is healed. Cosmetics such as lipstick can be applied over Docosanol Cream, but a separate applicator should be used to avoid spreading the infection.*
