•You can use the cold sore patch at any stage of an outbreak
•However it is best to apply at the first sign of an outbreak usually a tingling or itching sensation
•Wash your hands before and after applying the COMPEED cold sore patch
•COMPEED cold sore patches should be used 24 hours a day until the sore is healed*
•A patch will naturally detach after approximately 8 hours and should then be replaced with a new one
•Don’t remove the patch because you want the sore to ‘breathe’
•This is actually counter-productive and can lengthen the healing* process
•Keeping the patch on is clinically proven to ensure the optimal healing* environment is maintained
