Treatment of early stages (prodrome or erythema phase) of recurrent labial herpes simplex infection (cold sores) in immunocompetent adults.
For this indication, competent medicine agencies globally authorize below treatments:
Cutaneous
5 - 5 {spreads}
From 1 To 1 {spreads} 5 time(s) per day every day
Apply a thin film carefully over the entire cold sore 5 times a day (approximately every 3 hours during waking hours).
Treatment must begin as soon as possible after the first cold sore symptoms or signs appear (pain, burning/itching/tingling or redness) as efficacy has not been demonstrated when the treatment is initiated at the stage of an already developed blister or ulcer. Treatment should continue until healing has occurred, usually 4 to 6 days, or for a maximum of 10 days.
