FAQs
What are Cymex products for?
Cymex products on this page are intended for cold sores, with options that focus on soothing discomfort and an aciclovir treatment intended to treat cold sores on the lips and face. Always follow the label and Patient Information Leaflet.
Which Cymex option should I choose: cold sore cream or aciclovir treatment?
If you want a product aimed at soothing and supporting sore, chapped lips, the cold sore cream may be suitable. If you want an antiviral option intended to treat cold sores caused by the herpes simplex virus, choose the aciclovir treatment—use only as directed and check suitability and age restrictions on the pack.
When should I start using Cymex for a cold sore?
Many cold sore treatments are used at the earliest symptoms, such as tingling. Start and apply exactly as the product instructions describe, and do not use more often or for longer than directed.
Can I use Cymex if I get cold sores frequently?
If cold sores are frequent, severe, or not improving as expected, speak to a pharmacist or GP to discuss possible triggers, prevention steps, and whether another approach is more appropriate.
Is Cymex suitable in pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Suitability depends on the product and your circumstances. Check the label and Patient Information Leaflet and ask a pharmacist, midwife, or GP for advice before using cold sore treatments if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding.
When should I get medical advice for a cold sore?
Seek advice if symptoms are severe, spreading, not improving, involve the eye, or if you have a weakened immune system. If you’re worried at any stage, contact a pharmacist, your GP, or NHS 111.
How can I reduce the chance of spreading a cold sore?
Avoid touching the cold sore, wash hands after applying products, do not share lip products, and avoid kissing or oral contact while a cold sore is present. Follow any hygiene advice in the product leaflet.
Safety note: Cold sores can have similar symptoms to other skin conditions. Always read the label and Patient Information Leaflet, use only as directed, and ask a pharmacist for personalised advice if you’re unsure which product to choose. Seek medical help if symptoms persist, worsen, recur often, or you have eye involvement, severe pain, or underlying health concerns.
