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.
Children under 2 years of age: ask a doctor.
