What is Abreva Cold Sore Treatment Cream?
Overview of Cold Sores and Abreva
Abreva Cold Sore Treatment Cream is an over-the-counter medication designed to treat cold sores, also known as fever blisters, on the face or lips. It contains docosanol, an active ingredient that helps to shorten healing time and reduce symptoms.
