DIRECTIONS

Adults and children over 2 years of age:

• Clean the lip area of any lip preparations, lotions, ointments, residual beverages, or cosmetics including lipstick using warm water and a washcloth
• Remove the cardboard top from applicator and place onto the glass/plastic vial end - opposite the brush end of the product
• Squeeze the cardboard to break the inner glass vial open
• Saturate the applicator end with solution by holding the brush end down and squeezing the container until you can see liquid on the brush applicator
• For best results, massage the solution into the cold sore by rubbing. Rub firmly, but take care not to damage the tissue. The purpose of the rubbing is to deliver the drug to the infection site. Hold the vial so the solution flows to the sore.
  
• To treat most cold sores, usually one treatment is enough.
  
• If your symptoms go away and then return later, apply another dose.
  
• Do not use more than 3 times per day
• Discard after use.

Patented new approach to treating cold sores. Rubbing the cold sore with the applicator tip delivers the germicidal medicine directly to the site of the infection.

After touching a cold sore:

• Wash your hands immediately with warm water and soap
• Do not touch your eyes
• Do not touch your genitals or other parts of the body.
  

It is possible to transfer the virus to other parts of the body (autoinoculation)

Cold Sores and Fever Blisters are both caused by the Herpes Simples virus (typically HSV-1) and are just different popular names for the HSV-caused lesions.
