The Internet offers mixed reviews on many of the dozens of cold drugs today, ranging from statements like "my cold sore disappeared in two hours" to "it made it worse." Some cold drugs obviously have a better track record than others, but it can be difficult to find the perfect remedy for this annoying and awkward cold sore. The biggest factor that will contribute to the effectiveness of your chosen drug for the treatment of acute inflammation is the information about the stage at which the cold sore appeared when the first procedure is applied to the site. Any patient suffering from pain knows that the best way to treat a cold ache is to nip it in the kidney as soon as possible. Once the blisters begin to form, you may not be lucky if you do not use the right medicine to treat cardiovascular diseases. I often get sick sick, suffering pain, who tried almost all home remedies and medicines for the cold. In this article, I'm going to compare two of the most popular cold drugs: Abreva, the only FDA approved prescription drug and Zovirax, the FDA approved prescription drug.
Abreva:
Abreva can be purchased at almost any pharmacy for $ 16-20. Immediately, it is important to note that you will not get much for what you pay. The medicine is in a tiny tube 2 grams long (0.7 ounces) that is only one inch long. I have seen a lot of good (and many bad) reviews about Abrev, and my opinion falls somewhere in the middle. Quickly healing a cold bolus, Abreva strikes. I learned that if I almost applied Abreva almost every hour, as soon as I felt some burning or tingling, it really helps, and there is a 90% chance that I will avoid a complete break. Often, if you catch at this stage, the bubbles simply do not develop. However, if I don’t have them when the tingling starts, or I wake up to find that the bubbles have already started to form, the cold sore will usually go away, lasting 9-10 days, no matter how much I continue to apply It is important to apply Abrev at once, feeling some tingling or pain. Even an hour can make a big difference.
Zovirax (acyclovir):
Let me just say that I absolutely adore Zovirax, and I regret those years when I suffered from herpes by spending hours on researching home remedies and over-the-counter products when I was a simple answer to a doctor's prescription. It really saves lives when it comes to herpes. Whether it is applied at the first sign of a cold sore or even after blisters and blisters began to appear, it will close my cold sore in 24-4 hours. In addition, it does not “dry out” the cold ulcers that many medicines do; reducing blisters, but leaving a very hard scab that cracks and bleeds. Zovirax also has something in it to relieve pain and itching. In most cases, if Zovirax is applied during the tingling stage, a cold sore does not develop (for example, Abreva). If it is applied after blistering, it compresses the blister overnight and relieves all redness and irritation surrounding the pain. I have never had a cold sore for more than three days when using Zovirax. One side for using this medication is the cost. The 5-gram Zovirax tube is priced at about $ 120.00 and is subject to a higher co-payment with insurance, since there is no general equivalent so far.
