Oralherp is a specialized health brand developed by VitroBio (and distributed by companies like Bial-Industrial Farmaceutica and Reva Health) that focuses on advanced topical treatments for labial herpes (cold sores). The brand is characterized by its use of natural-origin ingredients—over 98% in some formulations—to provide clinical-grade efficacy without common chemical side effects.

Core Product and Mechanism

The flagship product is a clear, viscous, hypertonic solution designed to treat open lesions caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1).

Osmotic Action:
When applied, the solution mechanically attracts hypotonic fluid from within the lesion to the surface.

Film-Forming Technology:
It creates a protective film over the wound that cleanses the area by removing contaminants like dead cells, bacteria, and virus particles.

Protective Barrier:
This film also shields the open sore from external aggressions, dryness, and irritation to accelerate the natural healing process.

Clinical Efficacy and Safety

Oralherp has been evaluated in clinical trials (such as a 14-day multicenter trial) showing significant results in symptom management:

Viral Load Reduction:
Demonstrated a 38% reduction in viral load within 2 hours of application, reaching 100% by day 14.

Healing Speed:
Lesion healing progressed to 55% by day 4, with full resolution typically occurring by day 14.

Symptom Relief:
Rapidly calms itching, burning, tingling, and pain.

Safety Profile:
The product is generally well-tolerated with no reported adverse effects in clinical settings. It is suitable for adults, adolescents, and children over 3 years old. Some sources indicate it is safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women, though others advise consulting a professional or caution against it.

Key Ingredients

The formulation combines high-osmotic agents with botanical extracts:

Glycerol (approx. 74%):
Provides the high osmotic capacity needed to clean the lesion.

Honey:
Used for its natural soothing and protective properties.

Herpcyanadol:
A specialized blend containing extracts from Grapevine seeds (Vitis vinifera), Green Tea leaves (Camellia sinensis), and Elderberry fruits (Sambucus nigra).
