Lipreve is an effective, OTC easy-dose capsule taken twice daily for two days to heal cold sores and relieve the accompanying itching, burning and swelling—without the mess.

Relieves Common Symptoms The symptoms are all too familiar: you feel an “itchy” or tingling sensation on or near your lip, followed by a blister, which swells and eventually bursts. They’re unsightly and incredibly painful. Other cold sore treatments are messy, topical creams that have to be repeatedly applied directly to the cold sore. And they’re only effective when used at the prodromal or “itchy” stage of a breakout, before a sore appears. Lipreve heals cold sores without the mess of a cream—even if you start using it after the prodromal (beginning) stage.

Lipreve Offers:

Proven Ingredients
Convenient alternative to creams
Heals cold sores
Relief from itching, burning and swelling
Reduces pain and discomfort
All-natural homeopathic formulation

Active Ingredients: Arsenicum album 6X HPUS (For the relief of itching, burning and swelling) Natrum muriaticum 6X HPUS (For the relief of cold sore symptoms) Sepia 6X HPUS (For the relief of herpetic eruptions on the lips)

Cold Sores

If you’ve ever had a cold sore, you know the feeling well. It begins with an “itchy” or tingling sensation (called the prodromal stage) on or near your lip, followed by a blister, which swells and swells, then eventually bursts. Cold sores are painful, unsightly, uncomfortable and seem to last forever—10 to 14 days on average. You might get a cold sore just once. And you might be one of the unfortunate people who get cold sores again and again.

Cold sores (also known as fever blisters) are caused by the herpes simplex virus, and they are contagious—although the virus can only be transmitted by close personal contact such as kissing. Cold sores are not a sign of a recently acquired infection, but a reactivation of virus particles already in your body. Most people come into contact with the virus between the ages of three and five and don’t show any symptoms until after puberty. Once you’ve had a cold sore, the virus lays dormant in the nerve cells in your skin until they’re “reactivated.” Common triggers include certain foods, fever, diet deficiencies, stress, menstruation, and exposure to the sun—though causes vary from person to person.

NOTE: The virus can spread to other parts of your body, so avoid direct contact with a cold sore as much as possible, and wash your hands thoroughly after touching your lips.

Lipreve™ is the first oral medication for treatment of cold sores. And it’s available over the counter without a prescription. Taken twice daily, Lipreve heals cold sores faster than topical treatments—even if you start using it after the prodromal or ‘”itchy” stage. Lipreve reduces the pain of cold sores faster than competing products. Plus, Lipreve provides relief of the itching, burning and swelling associated with cold sores. And because it’s an easy-to-swallow capsule, you avoid the risk of spreading the virus every time you apply a topical ointment or cream. Not to mention the mess.

So how can you help prevent cold sores? Living a healthy lifestyle can strengthen you body’s defense system—eat a varied diet, exercise regularly and get adequate sleep. If exposure to sun seems to be the culprit for your outbreaks, using a sun block can help to prevent reactivation.

	two thumbs up I just starting getting cold sores earlier this year and was devistated. I feel so ugly and embarrassed when I get one. I saw an add for Lipreve and thought what could it hurt. The abreva and carmex and other therapies did not seem to help at all, so I figured that it was worth a try. It didn't work as well as I had hoped (and make it completely go away), but to my surprise it worked much better than I expected. My last cold sore was almost healed in about 2-3 days vs. over a week. I take it whenever I feel I might potentially get a cold sore and so far it seems to help with prevention and it's been several months since my last cold sore. I don't advise it because I haven't read anything about side effects from overuse. It is expensive, especially when you have to pay for shipping and handling, but it has been worth it to me, the only thing better would be a cure. I would definately recommend this product. The only thing that I don't like about it is that it smells funny, like garlic or something not terribly pleasant, but once you swallow it, it isn't an issue. Anonomys, Sept 17 2008
