"Took 3 tablets (1,500 mg) before my lip blistered, right at the first tingle, but I still got 2 cold sores. Meds gave me a headache and a stomach ache. Waste of money because it didn't work for me."

"I was getting attacked by cold sores even though I was taking Acyclovir. My Dr. had me try Famciclovir, and since I started on it a year and a half ago, I've gotten maybe 3 incidences."

"If you have really bad sores, big sores? Open the capsule to release the powder, put it on the sore directly every day up to 3 times a day. You will see excellent results!"
