How to Access Cold Sore Treatment Online
Start Your Online Consultation Today
Getting prescription cold sore treatment through EverydayMeds is straightforward and confidential. Our online consultation takes just a few minutes to complete. You'll answer questions about your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. This information helps our qualified UK prescribers determine the most suitable treatment for your cold sore outbreak.
Available Cold Sore Treatments
EverydayMeds offers several effective cold sore treatments following successful consultation. Aciclovir 400mg tablets are our most commonly prescribed antiviral medication, helping to reduce the severity and duration of outbreaks when taken at the first sign of symptoms. We also stock Aciclovir 5% cream for topical application, plus alternative antivirals including Valaciclovir 500mg tablets for those who may benefit from different dosing schedules.
Next Day Delivery Service
Time is crucial when treating cold sores, as antiviral medications work best when started early in an outbreak. That's why EverydayMeds offers next day delivery across the UK, ensuring you receive your prescribed treatment quickly. Orders placed before our cut-off time are dispatched the same day in discreet, pharmaceutical-grade packaging.
Understanding Cold Sore Treatment
Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), which affects up to 70% of the UK population. While there's no effective treatment for the virus, antiviral treatments like Aciclovir can significantly help manage symptoms and reduce outbreak frequency. These medications work by preventing the virus from replicating, which may help shorten the healing time from the typical 7-10 days.
When to Seek Treatment
The most effective time to start cold sore treatment is during the initial tingling or burning sensation, before blisters fully develop. However, starting treatment at any stage of an outbreak may still provide benefits. If you experience frequent outbreaks (more than six per year), our prescribers may consider suppressive therapy to help reduce recurrence rates.
Safe and Regulated Service
EverydayMeds is a fully regulated UK online pharmacy, operating under strict MHRA guidelines. All consultations are reviewed by qualified prescribers, and we only supply genuine, licensed medications. Your privacy is protected throughout the process, with secure data handling and discreet packaging for all deliveries.
