Three-Time Gold Medalist Misty May-Treanor Teams Up with Abreva to Knock Out Cold Sores this Cold and Flu Season
Date:12/6/2012

PARSIPPANY, N.J., Dec. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare today announced it is teaming up with Misty May-Treanor, three-time Olympic gold medalist in beach volleyball, in a campaign to knock out the myths about cold sores. According to a new survey, the majority of Americans (63 percent) cannot correctly distinguish between cold sore myths and facts, and with cold and flu season approaching and cold sore triggers all around, it's more important than ever to know how to fight cold sores fast.

The survey, conducted by Wakefield Research on behalf of Abreva®, also revealed that nearly 7 in 10 (68 percent) Americans value faster healing time over lowest price when purchasing a medication. Abreva® is clinically proven to heal cold sores fast and is the number one over-the-counter cold sore treatment recommended by pharmacists.

"I've gotten cold sores for as long as I can remember and they always seem to pop up at the worst possible time. And for me, that was right in the middle of the 2012 London Games," says Misty May-Treanor, professional beach volleyball player and three-time Olympic gold medalist. "I have been using Abreva® for years, and I stick with it because it heals my cold sores fast. When I get a cold sore, I don't tough it out, I knock it out with Abreva®."

The survey revealed over half of respondents (52 percent) are unaware that cold sores go through multiple stages of development before beginning to heal, and one in two did not realize that if left untreated, cold sores can take up to two weeks to heal.  Abreva® heals cold sores much like a prescription would but without the hassle. It penetrates deep to the root of a cold sore and helps block the spread of the virus to healthy cells.
