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 cold sore treatment medication that reduces the size of lesions and speeds up the healing time required for them. It also prevents initial cold sores from becoming ulcerative. A cold sore is ulcerative when it bursts and becomes a painful sore, but most people who use Xerese can stop the virus (herpes simplex) from progressing that far. Xerese cream for cold sores is easy to apply and is recommended for people who don't get sufficient relief from cold sores from OTC products like Anbesol.

    You can Xerese cream with a prescription at most pharmacies, and you'll likely have a lower Xerese cream cost when you order medication online from Canada Pharmacy.

    Directions

    Xerese cold sore cream should be applied as soon as you see signs of a cold sore developing.

    Wash hands before and after use.

    Apply the cream 5 times a day for the first 5 days of treatment. After that, apply cream less frequently depending on reduction of cold sore until you completely get rid of cold sores.

    Do not cover treatment area with bandage after application. Do not apply makeup (lipstick) to lips when treating a cold sore with Xerese.

    The active ingredients in Xerese are Acyclovir and Hydrocortisone.
