Overview

Cold Sores, or HSV-1, are caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus, which is known to hide in the spine. During times of stress or when the immune system is compromised, the herpes virus may cause an outbreak, resulting in one or more cold sores. Cold sores cause mild discomfort to severe physical pain. While few over the counter herpes treatments work, Lysine (especially as a combination therapy) has been linked to a reduction in Cold Sore symptoms.

Cold sore

I was able to get my medicine the very next day and already my cold sore is starting to heal. Thank goodness—I need it gone by my birthday.

10/10 recommend

I’ve struggled with cold sores ever since I was a little girl and have always used home remedies to alleviate my symptoms. However, with a big photo shoot coming up, I needed a faster remedy. Of course my cold sore would progress on a Sunday when my PCP’s office was closed, so I needed to get in contact with a doctor to get a prescription fast because we all know early treatment of the sore is the best treatment. My doctor at Wisp responded incredibly fast and put in a prescription for me. My lip was healed up just in time for my photos!

2nd Time Using Wisp…

This is my second time using Wisp and it really has been a lifesaver. I had a trip coming up when a cold sore unexpectedly started on my lip. I went to urgent care and after waiting a few minutes in a waiting room filled with tons of sick people coughing I decided that I didn’t want to risk getting sick. I went on Wisp and was able to get prescribed medication for the cold sore. I had my medication the same day just a few hours after using Wisp. The convenience of Wisp is so nice and especially if you are in a hurry and can’t get in to a doctors office right away.

Same Day Service

I needed a prescription for herpes in a bit of a rush (e.g. same day). I was able to sign up, talk with a doctor, and get my prescription within the same day. The process was very simple and it was a huge relief.

Truly incredible service

Truly incredible service. I am self employed and Healthcare stuff always gets a bit intimidating but Wisp made it so easy. I took at home test for a UTI, turned up positive and they were able to get me a prescription the very next day. I also suffer from terrible oral herpes and seeing that they offer medication that can be delivered within 24-48 hours literally brought a smile to my face. Thank you so much for what you do!

I was extremely blown away

I was extremely blown away by how easy this whole process was. I would avoid going to a doctor because I hated those cold, glaring, seemingly judgmental stares that you get from regular practitioner. I think when you already know what is going on because you've experienced the condition most of your life, this service gives you a little bit of dignity.
