What is a Generic Drug?

A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Description

Xerese is a prescription medication for cold sore treatment that works to reduce the size of lesions and speeds up their healing time, plus preventing initial cold sores from becoming ulcerative. Cold sores are ulcerative when they burst and become painful. Most Xerese users can stop the herpes simplex virus from progressing to the point of sores bursting. Xerese cream for cold sores is easy to apply, and is a good choice for anyone who doesn't get sufficient relief from cold sores with OTC products like Anbesol.

You can buy Xerese cream with a prescription at most pharmacies, and you'll get a lower Xerese cream cost when you order medication online from Canada Drugs Direct.

Directions

Apply Xerese cold sore cream as soon as you see a cold sore developing.

Wash hands before and after use.

Cream should be applied 5 times a day for the first 5 days. Cream can be applied less frequently after that depending on reduction of cold sore or completely getting rid of cold sores.

Keep skin open and do not cover area with any material after application. Do not apply makeup (lipstick) to lips while treating a cold sore with Xerese.

Ingredients

The active ingredients in Xerese are Acyclovir and Hydrocortisone.
