Novitra is the brand name for a new cold sore treatment that’s packaged in a 0.25-oz aluminum tube inside a colorful five-panel folding carton.

The maker is B&T Pharmaceuticals, Santa Rosa, CA, and the company is a long-time user of aluminum tubes for its gels and creams.

“This breakthrough formulation contains the active ingredient zinc,” says Andy Bormeth, head pharmacist and director of technical affairs at B&T. “Because the active ingredients are primarily mineral-based, we’ve always had the best results packing into aluminum tubes. So early on we decided to go with a container we knew we’d have good stability with to provide the optimal product for the longest period of time.”
