Indications
Zilactin Early Relief Cold Sore Gel is used to temporarily relieve pain caused by cold sores or fever blisters, canker sores, mouth sores, and gum irritations.
As an oral pain reliever, Zilactin Early Relief Cold Sore Gel works by creating a protective seal over fever blisters, facilitating healing, and providing pain relief for up to 6 hours.
Uses and Dosage
Thoroughly read and follow the guidelines on Zilactin Early Relief Cold Sore Gel packaging. If your doctor has prescribed this medication, use it as directed. For any questions, seek advice from your doctor or pharmacist without hesitation.
Zilactin Early Relief Cold Sore Gel is intended for oral use only. Avoid contact with the eyes.
