Warn About the High Cost of Some Cold Sore Treatments

September 2014

You'll see ads for Sitavig (SIT-a-vig), a new formulation of acyclovir for treating cold sores.

It comes as a buccal tablet that's placed on the upper gum on the same side of the mouth as the symptoms...and has a local effect.

Its big advantage is that it's applied just ONCE per episode...compared to 5 times daily for 4 to 10 days for other topicals.
