Merix Pharmaceutical Corp. Announces RELEEV 1 Day Cold Sore Treatment Now Available in Airports, Providing On-the-Go Relief

Merix Pharmaceutical Corp. announces its RELEEV 1 Day Cold Sore Symptom Treatment is available for on-the-go purchase at more than 250 convenience stores located in airports as well as in drugstores like Walgreens, CVS and Rite Aid. Customers can now find fast, effective relief for painful cold sores with RELEEV, wherever they are.

RELEEV contains VIRACEA, a proprietary botanical extract formula. Merix’s patented Echinacea Extract with FDA-approved OTC antimicrobial antiseptic Benzalkonium Chloride is the fastest healing treatment for cold sores known. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, VIRACEA was found to heal cold sores in as little as one day. Laboratory testing also showed that VIRACEA was highly active against HSV-1 and HSV-2.

Travel can especially exacerbate HSV-1 and HSV-2, highlighting the need for accessible, and fast, relief. Stress during travel and jetlag can weaken immune system defenses, becoming a cold sore trigger. Strong sunlight and a change in diet, commonly experienced by travelers, can also cause HSV-1 and HSV-2 flares. While travelers might forget to pack cold sore relief treatment, they can now easily find RELEEV while on the go.
