Cold sores are a common problem for many of us. Most often caused by the herpes simplex 1 virus, Cold Sores are painful, fluid-filled blisters that form on the borders of the lips. These contagious blisters break and then crust over before healing, leaving an unsightly scab on the lips. Recurrences are common and can be triggered by stress, sun exposure, lowered immunity and menstruation.

Contains 10% w/w Poviodine-Iodine Equivalent to 1% w/w available Iodine.

The Betadine Cold Sore Ointment is effective at all three stages of the cold sore:

1. It can prevent blister formation, or at least reduce the severity of the attack.
2. Prevent secondary infection of the blister during the second stage.
3. Help an infected blister heal.
