Abreva Top Notes

Do not share this medication with others. Doing so may spread the infection.

Cold sore outbreaks can be caused by many factors such as stress, hormonal changes (e.g., pregnancy, menstrual period), injury/surgery on the mouth (e.g., dental work), tiredness, cold weather, or fever/cold/flu.

Cold sores are a common condition and can spread easily. Avoid close physical contact with others (e.g., kissing) during an outbreak until the cold sores have completely healed. Also, try not to touch the cold sore, and wash your hands if you do touch the cold sore and after applying the medication.
