Primary Outcome Measures:
- Proportion of Subjects Who Experience a New Cold Sore Outbreak That Proceeds to the Lesion Stage.

[ Time Frame: 7-14 days (depending on time of lesion outbreak - subjects had 7 days to experience a new emerging cold sore) ]Subjects start a daily diary based on start of symptoms of a new emerging cold sore and start taking study medication. Subjects note the start time of study medication along with cold sore stage(s)for at least 7 days and up to 14 days. Subjects take study medication for 7 days. Cold Sore stages are 0=Dormant, 1=Prodrome, 2=Inflammation, 3=Vesicle, 4=Ulcer, 5=Crust, 6=Healed. If subjects do not experience a new cold sore outbreak within 7 days, they do not take study medication and are completed with the study.
