Cold Sores
"This medication is kind of cool. A tablet that can stick on your gums? My only complaint is that it takes a LONG time to dissolve- over 12 hours. If you&#039;ve ever had braces, it&#039;s nothing, but just annoying especially when you try to eat, brush your teeth, or drink water. I&#039;d recommend doing it right before bed if at all possible. Unfortunately, I took it a couple days after I got a cold sore since it&#039;s a prescription and you can&#039;t see most doctors immediately. I will say, I can tell the healing process happened quicker with this medication. The above comment is false, as several insurance companies will cover the majority of the cost. I paid $35 for two pills... (Not like that&#039;s cheap but definitely better than paying $300 or w/o insurance)."
