What is Docosanol used for?
ABREVA 100 mg/g cream is primarily used for the treatment of cold sores caused by the herpes simplex virus. It is applied topically to the affected area to help speed up the healing process.

When applied as directed, ABREVA 100 mg/g cream may help reduce the duration and severity of cold sores.
