CreamWhat is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Abreva Overview
Docosanol is used to treat "cold sores/fever blisters" (herpes labialis). It can speed up healing of the sores and decrease symptoms (such as tingling, pain, burning, itching). It works by blocking the virus that causes the cold sores (herpes simplex) from entering the healthy skin cells and growing in number. Abreva does not cure herpes and does not prevent passing the infection to someone else. It does not prevent a future occurrence. Do not use Abreva to treat canker sores (sores found commonly in the mouth), shingles, or genital herpes.
How to Use Abreva
Follow all directions on the product package, or use as directed by your doctor. Use Abreva at the first signs of a cold sore (such as tingling, burning, redness, or a bump). Wash and dry your hands before applying the medication. Clean and dry the affected areas. Apply a thin layer of medication to completely cover the area of the cold sore or the area of tingling/itching/redness/swelling and rub in gently, usually 5 times a day every 3-4 hours, or as directed by your doctor. Wash your hands with soap and water after applying. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Apply to skin only. Do not apply Abreva in or near the eyes since Abreva can irritate the eyes. If you do get medication in your eyes, flush with plenty of water. Do not apply inside the mouth or nose. Remove any cosmetics from the affected area before applying. You may apply cosmetics after applying but use a separate applicator (such as a disposable cotton swab) on infected areas to prevent spreading the infection. If you accidentally wipe off the medication, reapply as soon as possible. Dosage of Abreva is based on your medical condition, type of infection, and response to treatment. Do not use Abreva more often or for longer than directed. Use Abreva regularly to get the most benefit from it. Abreva works best when the amount of drug absorbed by the skin stays at a constant level. Use Abreva at evenly spaced intervals. To help you remember, use it at the same times each day. Cold sores (herpes) can spread easily. Docosanol does not prevent the spread of herpes. Avoid close physical contact with others (such as kissing) during an outbreak until the cold sores have completely healed. Also, try not to touch the cold sore, and wash your hands if you do touch the cold sore. Stop using Abreva and tell your doctor if your cold sores get worse or last for more than 10 days.
