Vectavir Cold Sore Cream - an advanced anti-viral formulation that treats cold sores fast!

Cold Sores are an infection of skin, most often seen on or around the lips caused by the herpes simplex virus. Most people carry the virus but not everyone suffers from attacks of cold sores. Unfortunately around a quarter of the population will experience cold sores ranging from 1 to 6 episodes per year or more.

The virus can be activated by being run down, especially when you have a cold or a flu, any kind of physical or mental exhaustion, menstruation or physical trauma or injury. Some foods with a high arginine content such as peanuts and chocolate are also known to be triggers for cold sore attacks.

Zovirax cold sore cream holds the greatest market share but there is an alternative product, chemically similar called Penciclovir that is also very effective in treating cold sores. Like Zovirax, penciclovir is an anti-viral medicine that interferes with the viruses ability to reproduce, effectively killing off the cause of the cold sore. Penciclovir exhibits high selectivity for viral DNA, specifically targetting the virus rather than human DNA, making it very low in toxicity.

Penciclovir is marketed internationally under several brand names – Femistil, Denavir and Vectavir are the best known brands. Vectavir Cold Sore Cream does not require a prescription and is reasonably priced.
