Thank you for purchasing Docosanol 10% Cream. This cream is a treatment for cold sores and fever blisters. It has been shown to shorten the healing time of cold sores and improve symptoms. It is important to follow the directions for proper use. Cold sores are a common condition that affects one in five Americans each year. They can be easily spread, so it is important to avoid close physical contact during an outbreak. Cold sores are caused by a virus that can be reactivated by triggers such as stress, sunlight, extreme weather, colds, lack of sleep, or menstruation. The sooner you begin using Docosanol Cream, the more effective it will be. It is recommended to start using the cream when you first feel the tingling, redness, bump, or itch associated with a cold sore. Docosanol Cream contains 10% docosanol, which helps shorten the healing time and reduce symptoms such as tingling, pain, itching, and burning. The cream can be used by adults and children over 12 years old and should be applied five times a day until the cold sore is healed. Cosmetics can be applied over the cream, but a separate applicator should be used to avoid spreading the infection.*
