Herpes labialis, commonly known as cold sores, is an infection of the mouth and surrounding area. Antiviral therapy can be used to block viral replication, which shortens the duration of symptoms, facilitates resolution of lesions, and lessens the risk of spreading the virus. Increasing access to antivirals targeted against herpes labialis by allowing assessment and prescribing by a pharmacist may decrease time to treatment for HSV-1, and improve patient satisfaction. Experience from Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United States demonstrate that pharmacist management of cold sores has a safe track record and may be considered by other jurisdictions.
唇疱疹，通常称为唇疮疹，是口腔及周围区域的一种感染。抗病毒疗法可用于阻断病毒复制，这能缩短症状持续时间，促进病损消退，并降低病毒传播风险。通过允许药剂师进行评估和开处方，增加获得针对唇疱疹的抗病毒药物的机会，可能会缩短单纯疱疹病毒1型（HSV-1）的治疗时间，并提高患者满意度。加拿大、澳大利亚、新西兰和美国的经验表明，药剂师对唇疮疹的管理有着安全的记录，其他司法管辖区可以考虑采用。
