Viractin Cold Sore Gel (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

Why is Viractin so hard to find? Is it being discontinued and if so, why? I've used it for years in conjunction with Abreva for cold sores and I love it but it keeps getting harder to buy and I don't understand why when it's such a great product!

Viractin Rocks!!!! I found it online a few years ago and bought 4 tubes. It was a different company than the original that made it, so may have to search online.. will look again and let you know if I find it.

I allso found Viractin to be the only highly effective cold sore medication...especially when used at first onset. Is it truly discontinued by the manufacturer? Tragic!

Benzocaine does NOT work as effectively as Tetracaine. At least for me. Viractin was the first treatment I have found to be 100% effective when used at the first signs of an outbreak. BRING BACK VIRACTIN!!!

Viractin contains the active ingredient Tetracaine, which is a local anesthetic used to numb the area, topically.

I'm not finding any specific information, but it appears that the company that makes it might have discontinued it. It's made by Medibrands and they no longer list any information about it on their site and most online sites that listed it for sale say it is currently out of stock.

I don't know which one might be available in your area, but many products use a similar ingredient called Benzocaine, so you may want to look for something containing it or ask your pharmacist to recommend one.
