Casey Says:
Viractin Cold Sore Treatment was the BEST. I have suffered with coldsores for years. This was the best treatment I have come acrossed. A small amount of this product and no more coldsore. I haven't found an answer to my question yet. Is Viractin still available over counter or do I need a prescription for it?

I have always used Viractin and it cut the time in half...I tried Abreva a couple of times just to see and it would last double the time. I WANT VIRACTIN BACK!!! I would use it the second I felt one starting and it would stop the outbreak from happening or make it very mild

Veractin was the best. Don't know why they don't sell it anymore. it would get rid of the cold sore in like one treatment. I haven't found anything that even comes close.

Yes! Abreva does nothing for me. Viractin stops it in its tracks at the first tingle or itch where you can feel it coming on!

Re: Sassy (# 4) 
Viractin gel absolutly works. It stops the pain and gets rid of the cold sore. This little .25 oz tube distributed 1997 by JB williams Co.,Inc lasted me almost 20 years. I occasionally got painful cold sores and only a dab of it cut the time from 5 days to 2-3 days and stopped the pain during the process. Companies shouldn't discontinue a product in demand that works, just change how they market it. My tube just finished a year ago and I still keep the tube, taking it around looking for the product

I agree with you completely. As soon as I felt a cold sore coming on my lip, if I put vita tin on it, I never got a cold sore at all. Just a little sensitive spot maybe. It DID shorten the duration because it never formed. Best stuff ever.

Re: Verwon (# 1)
Sorry to disagree but I used and still use sparingly since I can no longer get it. I get the start of a cold sore put viractin on and it stops it. They need to bring it back !!!!

Re: Verwon (# 1)
I agree with everything Casey says 100% Abreva??!! Are you kidding me? Look my friend, you obviously haven't had a cold sore b4. None of that s*** you named in the stores actually works. I've tried all of them, but viractin was the s***! 2 or 3 days your s*** was gone like f***en magic! That took it off the shelf because it actually works.

Re: Verwon (# 1)
You have obviously never used Viractin on a cold sore to say it really doesn't do anything to shorten the life of a cold sore. This was the best medication EVER introduced for relief AND shorten the life of a cold sore. I still have a tiny bit left in an old tube that I hang on to for dear life in case I get cold sores again.

I agree with the others that Viractin was the best for cold sores.
Who is the manufacturer so we request for it to be put back on the market.

Plain and simple, Viractin, it appears has been discontinued by the manufacturer and there seemsG to be nothing comparable even though Abreva brags about their healing properties. As far as I know, there is only a prescription drug called Valtrex for herpes, but it has many side affects and I'm not sure it's worth the risk.

I too am so disappointed to find out that Viractin is no longer available, but at least I have an answer and can quit hitting every drug store in town to find it. Has anyone tried Zilactin which is a Walgreen product? A further google of tetracaine which is the active ingredient in Viractin, lead me to Pontocaine. Has anyone tried that? I really appreciate the sharing of experiences.
