Product Images Docosanol

This is a description for a cream that contains 10% Docosanol, which is used to treat cold sores and fever blisters on the face or lips. It helps to shorten the healing time and duration of symptoms such as tingling, pain, burning, and itching. The cream should only be applied to the affected areas and should not be used near the eyes or mouth. It is important to avoid sharing the product to prevent the spread of infection. If the cold sore gets worse or does not heal within 10 days, it is recommended to consult a doctor. The cream should be kept out of reach of children, and if swallowed, medical help should be sought immediately. The cream should be applied three times a day until healed. The product should be stored between 20° to 25°C (68° to 77°F) and should not be frozen. The inactive ingredients include benzyl alcohol, light mineral oil, propylene glycol, purified water, sorbose distearate, and sucrose stearate. For any questions or comments, a customer service number is provided. This cream is comparable to Abreva and is the only FDA-approved medicine for treating cold sores.
