Thank goodness the doctor gave me a sample as when I went to get it filled it was $500 with my insurance. Could not afford to get it filled.

This has been the only thing that has ever been able to keep a blister from forming if used at the first tingling signs. It can be pricey but is worth every penny if you suffer from bad outbreaks or frequent ones. A very tiny amount goes a long way so it will last a very long time.

I have been using this product for years and it works great! I usually pay $50.00 for it but when I went to refill it today, I was told it is no longer covered and it cost $800.00. Who has $800.00 for a little tube? This is ridiculousness! No wonder health care is out control and people cant afford it.

I have been using this for my occasional cold sore. I am surprised that it costs $700 now as I paid $46 in 2010 at costco which was the cheapest at that time. I just got another flare up after almost 18 months and got it subsided in 3 days with this cream bought in 2010.

I have been using this for my occasional cold sore. I am surprised that it costs $700 now as I paid $46 in 2010 at costco which was the cheapest at that time. I just got another flare up after almost 18 months and got it subsided in 3 days with this cream bought in 2010. To prevent waste, I use a snipped off dental pick as applicator to smear it over the affected area. You can remove just enough with the tip and not soaked up like a Q tip does. I also put the tube in another small plastic cylinder to keep it air tight. It won't be squashed easily in my purse or carry- on luggage when I travel.
