Docosanol speeds the healing of cold sores and fever blisters on the face or lips. It also relieves the accompanying symptoms, including tingling, pain, burning, and itching. Docosanol cannot, however, prevent cold sores or fever blisters from appearing. Docosan-1-ol is found in ginkgo nuts and potato. 1-Docosanol Abreva Abreva (TN) Behenic alcohol Behenyl alcohol BEHENYL ALCOHOL, 98% Cachalot BE-22 Debat Dehydag wax 22 (lanette) Doconsanol Docosanol Docosanol (usan) Docosanol (van) Docosanol [usan] Docosanol-(1) Docosyl alcohol Erazaban Healip Herepair Lanette 22 Lidakol Lidavol Loxiol VPG 1451 n-Docosanol Stenol 1822 Stenol 1822A Tadenan C22H46O 326.6 326.354866094 docosan-1-ol docosanol 30303-65-2 CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCO InChI=1S/C22H46O/c1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-20-21-22-23/h23H,2-22H2,1H3 NOPFSRXAKWQILS-UHFFFAOYSA-N belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty alcohols.
