Famciclovir 500mg 3 tabs Cold Sores

Dreading that familiar cold sore tingle?
Ask your pharmacist about APOHEALTH Famciclovir Once.

Unlike many other OTC cold sore treatments that require repeated doses or applications, APOHEALTH Famciclovir Once can treat a cold sore outbreak with a single dose of 3 tablets.

APOHEALTH Famciclovir Once contains the active ingredient Famciclovir 500mg, an antiviral that works by reducing the ability of the virus to reproduce, shortening the duration of the outbreak and helping to relieve cold sore symptoms.

For adults 18 years of age and over, take all 3 tablets as a single dose as soon as possible after first symptoms (tingling, itching, burning) or signs (redness, swelling) of a cold sore appearing, as recommended by a pharmacist.

If you suffer from recurrent outbreaks of cold sores, you may wish to consider having a pack of APOHEALTH Famciclovir Once on hand in your medicine cabinet so that you can act quickly. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if APOHEALTH Famciclovir Once is right for you.

Cold sores are typically caused by the herpes simplex virus. After infection the virus stays in the body for life, lying dormant in nerve cells. Unfortunately, there is no known cure for cold sores which can recur at any time.

Common triggers of cold sores to be aware of include:

• Stress or tiredness
• Exposure to the sun, cold or wind
• Fever or illness, such as a cold
• Dry chapped lips or skin trauma
• Menstrual periods

Don’t let cold sores hold you back, treat them in a single dose with APOHEALTH Famciclovir Once.
