Denavir is a medical treatment to help treat external cold sores (fever
blisters). Using Denavir every two waking hours can reduce the discomfort and
time a breakout will last.
Recurrent cold sores cause many people pain and embarrassment. Denavir is a
prescription medication that can help shorten the duration and severity of cold
sore breakouts. The virus herpes simplex type 1 causes a cold sore, also known
as a fever blister. Once you have the cold sore virus, it will stay within your
body forever, which means there is always a chance to have a breakout.
Denavir is an anti-viral cream that can be used to treat cold sores as soon as
there is a sign of a breakout. Denavir works best when it is applied during the
early signs of a breakout. Denavir cream penetrates the area where the break is
occurring and blocks the virus that will cause the cold sore. Denavir is
intended for external use and should be applied every two waking hours for four
days.
