Frequently asked questions & answers:

• How long does it take for cold sores to heal? Treatment usually lasts 5 days. Aciclostad® should be used until the blisters have crusted over or healed. If there is no improvement or if the condition worsens after 10 days, you should consult a doctor.
• How long are cold sores contagious? The herpes virus is very contagious and can be transmitted through skin contact. The risk of infection is highest shortly before the blisters appear and while they are visible. The risk of infection decreases when the blisters crust over.
• What side effects can occur? Occasionally, after treatment with Aciclost®, burning or stinging may occur on the treated skin areas. Drying, flaking or itching of the skin are also possible.
