Many people do not consider Abreva for cold sores treatment to be the most effective cold sore medication:

• It has been acknowledged that Abreva for cold sores treatment is not better than prescription medication as it does not give relief to the person from pain in a timely manner.
• Abreva does not quickly heal the blisters or shorten the duration of the cold sore, but it will alleviate the pain and blisters after several days. So it takes longer period to heal as compared to other prescribed medication.
