DISSOLVE THE VIRUS IN THE SKIN, BUT BE GENTLE ON YOU.
USE RECOMMENDATIONS
FIRST APPLICATION (regardless of whether blister has formed or not)
- Apply small amount to the skin sore, e.g., cold sore or herpes sores.
- Wait 5-10 minutes to absorb into skin.
- Gently rub in residual cream, if needed, depending on how much was applied.
- Repeat steps 1-3.
- FIRST 2 DAYS (Minimum 4 times daily for fastest results) Better with early and frequent application. The rapid absorption makes this less problematic as compared to other topical creams. For example - Repeat steps 1-3 every 30 minutes for 2 hours, then repeat every 2-3 hours. Use even up to 10 or 12 applications the first 2 days. However, even 4 daily applications provide very good results.
- Continue to apply multiple times daily. Zap-H™ helps scab healing. Apply until all signs of cold sore disappear.
- *Note that when started within the first 24 hours of sore onset, the sores can disappear within 24 hours, and then duration of application is much less.
NOTE: Wash your hands before and after you apply Zap-H™ regardless of whether you use your finger or an applicator.
No limit has been determined unless there is irritation, at which point one should discontinue, or reduce the frequency of application. Do not worry if such frequency is not possible, as 2-3 applications per day will still provide at least some results.
Only mild irritation has been reported, mostly with open sores/blisters and of a temporary nature. If a higher degree of irritation or rash is experienced, reduce frequency or stop use and contact a health professional.
(PHOTO: Zap-H™ absorbs into skin. Massage any residue into the lip.)
* Zap-H™ is designed for improved absorption to “melt” into the skin, so any residue will disappear (depends on amount applied).

_______________________________________________________
STORAGE - Store near room temperature or between 5°- 23°C (40° - 75°F).
Best not to freeze and avoid heat over 27°C (80°F). The cream contains plant oils. Elevated temperatures will liquify the formulation as it is a fat-based emulsion and can be temperature sensitive. Avoid high temperatures such as keeping it in your pocket for long periods of time, or in a car in the summertime. High prolonged heat may alter viscosity, i.e., make it thicker after cooling, but it shouldn't reduce efficacy. If it is exposed to elevated temperatures, allow it to cool slowly at room temperature, or temporaily in the refrigerator, and then shake vigorously before use.
- Keep cap tightly closed.
