Cold sores are more than just a nuisance to your patients. They itch. They burn. They crack. They spread. Because they appear on the lips, one of the most visible and intimate parts of the body, most patients find them profoundly embarrassing -- especially when they linger for 8-10 days, as they often do.1

No one wants to spend an extra minute with a cold sore. But the uncertainty of how to treat them, or taking the wrong advice or choosing the wrong product, can make an outbreak last longer than it should. Moreover, because some people think it's a "trivial" condition, they'd rather suffer through an outbreak than consult a professional about it.

As a Pharmacist, there is much you can do to alleviate your patients' discomfort and confusion. This site has been designed to help you dispense the best, most reliable, up-to-date treatment and counseling advice possible -- so the discomfort of cold sores doesn't linger on any longer than it needs to.
