In this article we will look at a few different types of
medicinal remedies that are available and are considered to
be the best cold sore treatment that is available today to
acheive a cold sore cure.
1. Viroxyn
This is a new approach in helping to treat herpes and does
not rely on the patient taking the medicine internally. It
has been designed to specifically attack and disrupt the
lipid coat of virus (cold sore) and is best described as
being a germicide rather than the normal anti-viral
treatment. Many say this is the best cold sore
treatment on the market.
As it is a virucide you apply it directly to the lesion
(cold sore) and this will then kill the virus. This type of
treatment works faster than many of the other types of drugs
available which have to work their way through your stomach
into the bloodstream and which are then able to deal with
the sores and will only interefere with the viruses
reproduction which has caused the cold sores in the first
place. This is why some call it a cold sore cure.
Unlike the other treatments that are available which will
interrupt the genetic code of herpes and eventually stop the
virus from growing, Viroxyn strips The lipid coating off the
virus and then kills it when it comes into contact with an
affected area.
2. Zovirax or Acyclovir
This is taken as an episodic treatment and can reduce the
severity of the outbreak, as well as shorten its duration
and also shorten the time during which the herpes virus is
detected on the skin's surface in a similar way to Viroxyn.
Because it is an episodic treatment it should be taken 5
times a day and can also be used as a suppressive treatment
which will help to reduce the number of cold sore outbreaks
a person has. If you wish to use it as a suppressive
treatment you will need to take 2 tablets 3 or 4 times a day
but it is best to speak to your doctor to get the specific
dosage in order to treat the cold sores correctly.
This medication has it's own defenders as the best cold
sore treatment on the market.
However with Zovirax there are a couple of common side
effects which you may suffer from and these are nausea and
diarrhea. When you consider a cold sore cure, you must
keep in mind the side effects in making an evaluation.
We have provided details on a couple of the best cold sore
treatments that available, but it is up to you to research
both natural and prescription treatments and use a plan
that you feel comfortable with in your search for a cold
sore cure.
