What is Abreva? Abreva is the only non-prescription cold sore medicine FDA approved to shorten healing time and duration of symptoms.

Start applying Abreva the moment you feel a cold sore coming on, when you feel that tingle, itch and/or burning sensation. If you miss the tingle stage, start using Abreva as soon as you can, and apply it five times a day until your cold sore is healed. How Does Abreva Work? Abreva contains 10 percent Docosanol, a unique patented active ingredient that helps protect healthy cells from the cold sore virus. As Abreva helps the healthy cells defend the cold sore virus, the virus has a difficult time infecting more and more cells. This means cold sores heal faster and symptoms don't last as long. Why Use Abreva? Other cold sore treatments only relieve symptoms, so they can't match the healing power of Abreva. Just check out the interactive demo to see the Abreva difference. Plus, Abreva offers a Money-Back Guaranteee. If you aren't completely satisfied for any reason, save your receipt and remaining product, and call 1-877-709-3539 to receive a full refund.

It works and its cheap by AyAK  4 Stars
November 13, 2009
I bought this product when I lost the tiny Nexcare lipsore bottle.
I have a coldsore that hurts SO much that I couldnt put medicated chapstick, wash it, nothing without it hurting. This was worse b/c when my lips would dry and I talked or yawn, the sore would split open more. Its painful that I didnt care for the price.
The nexcare one did do well to numb my sore but being smaller, I lost it.*and it was expensive* So I bought this one and I was kinda pleased. It did numb my lips too and it kinda added a coat over the sore.
All I do like abreva but its always sold out.

Works. Better, cheaper alternatives available by E. Neal  3 Stars
September 18, 2009
Abreva helped me on several occasions. I think it is a good product. It does not work as well on my wife. Since my wife has more frequent (and severe) outbreaks than I do, we have done quite a bit of product testing. Here is what we found:
First, sun exposure is her #1 trigger for an outbreak. Lip balm with SPF 15 has SIGNIFICANTLY reduced the number of outbreaks. Chapped lips also trigger an outbreak, so a quality lip balm (other than Carmex) again works well.
Second, there is a product called Viroxyn that works better than Abreva. The active ingredient is .13% benzalkonium chloride. The same active ingredient is also found in Bactine. Viroxyn is $10 per dose, and generic versions of Bactine are very inexpensive. Both my wife and I have used Bactine for our last couple of outbreaks, and we believe we have found the next-best thing to a cure. If you have success with Abreva, then you know that catching the cold sore early in its development is key. Same goes for our Bactine treatment. At first tingle, we saturate a q-tip with Bactine and rub the spot firmly for about 2 minutes. Repeat 4-6 times the first day. We find that the growth stops quickly, and the remaining (tiny) sore heals in a couple of days. If we catch it fast enough, it doesn't even scab over. I am not a doctor, and I am not qualified to give medical advice. I am sharing my personal experience in hopes that you can also find a way to reduce the pain and embarrasment from cold sores. Always follow label instructions for OTC medications.

WORKS for HSV-II as well(genital)....and just as fast by Nubian (Baltimore, MARYLAND United States)  5 Stars
August 12, 2009
Abreva also works as well/fast on genital herpes as well. Although not advertised as such(Can't figure out why it isn't), but I don't get cold sores on my lips. Never have. ONLY 'down below' & I'm female. It ALWAYS Starts with tingling usually 3-5 days after my monthly cycle. I can mark it on the calendar...every month. I just start applying a VERY SMALL amount, ONLY enough to cover the tingling area. Usually on the area around my viginal opening is where the sores start. By the 2-3day, there are hardly any sores & what tries to form are already starting to heal.
This from someone who has NOT been sexually active in several years, LITERALLY!!!(OKAY, close your mouth!!!), I just don't have a man right now & I don't go the other way!!!!.
BUT I used to get Valtrex pills, at $35/mth EVERY MONTH!!!. This is WAY, way cheaper in regard to the daily pills, not to mention the $30 co-pay doctor visit just to GET the prescription.
ABREVA, Could you at least consider making a 10 or 12oz tube ??!!!! PLEASE..

Not sure it helps by lorelai (US)  2 Stars
June 05, 2009
I'm not sure Abreva did much for my fever blister. I recently read reviews here for a product that contained benzalkonium chloride 0.13% and benzocaine. I couldn't find it in the stores but found TANAC in my medicine cabinet. It has similar ingredients (0.12%). The benzocaine numbs it. It is a great product but hard to find now. Amazon carries it at the best price.

Abreva by H. Ho 4 Stars
June 04, 2009
This product is good for cold sores. I ended up only needing a small amount to heal my coldsore. The only problem is the tube is extremely small so hard to keep track of.
