I use Lactinex at the first sign of a cold sore and it reduces the duration AND severity by HALF. I see more results from Lactinex than I have by trying L-Lysine. I'm a believer!

My family swears by them like other reviews as soon as symptoms start you can take and it works to prevent them growing. I'm 65 and their hereditary in our family my siblings take them my
kids that carry the gene and even grandkid will take a small dose to get thru them. Nothing compares!

I get stress cold sores/fever blisters often. I start taking lactinex tablets as soon as I feel the tingle and often times it never turns into a blister. When I can't start taking lactinex right away and I get a cold sore it lasts only a few days. This medication is the best treatment for cold sores.

After returning from a three week vacation in South America I developed some gastrointestinal discomfort including bloating, mild heartburn, and frequent belching. My doctor recommended Lactinex. Within two days most of my symptoms were diminished or gone. I will definitely use this product again.

Have used this for fever blisters from too much sun for over 30 years. I take it right away and it heals my lips overnight. I swear by this remedy!

I use Lactinex for treating cold sores. The minute I feel one coming on I take some. If I take it at night usually the beginning of the cold sore is gone by the next morning. You have to ask the pharmacist to look in their refrigerator. Been taking it for years. Miracle med!
