Drug Details
Campho-Phenique Cold Sore Treatment is an over-the-counter gel designed to alleviate the discomfort associated with cold sores and fever blisters. Its active ingredients, camphor (10.8%) and phenol (4.7%), work together to provide immediate pain and itch relief by temporarily numbing the affected area. Additionally, the antiseptic properties of these ingredients help prevent infection, promoting faster healing. The inclusion of aloe in the formula moisturizes the surrounding skin, preventing dryness and cracking as the cold sore heals. For optimal results, it's recommended to apply the gel at the first sign of a cold sore, up to three times daily, without bandaging the area. Campho-Phenique is intended for external use only and should not be applied inside the mouth.
