Fast pain relief
With cold sores, fast pain relief is important. tetraVIV™ Advanced Cold Sore Care medication’s active ingredient, 2% tetracaine, is the strongest patented FDA-approved anesthetic available OTC to treat cold sore and fever blister outbreaks.
Safe and effective for pain relief
Tetracaine was first developed in 1930 and its medical use began back in 1941. Tetracaine is on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines, the most effective and safe medicines needed in a health system.
tetraVIV contains a powerful anesthetic
Many of us have been to the ER where numbing of the skin is needed rapidly. This is especially true when children have been injured in sensitive locations. Tetracaine is a local anesthetic (numbing medicine) that works by blocking nerve signals in your body. Tetracaine is absorbed through the skin. When used near a cold sore, it targets free nerve endings in the skin or lips. It thereby produces temporary loss of sensation at the site of the cold sore. Nerve impulses are blocked by decreasing nerve cell membrane permeability to the specific ions (signals) that cause pain.
Pain relief typically starts within minutes and can last more than an hour (or two!). tetraVIV can be applied 3X times a day, up to 5X for severe outbreaks.
Because tetraVIV’s formulation is patented, its tetracaine active ingredient works like no other product on the market today for treating cold sores and fever blisters.
Caution
You should not use tetraVIV if you are allergic to topical anesthetics in the -caine family. This includes Lidocaine, Benzocaine, Dibucaine, Procaine, Oxetacaine, Pramocaine, and Tetracaine.
tetraVIV is to be used topically only and not used internally or on large surfaces areas of the skin. Seek professional help if you have questions about using any topical anesthetic.
