Available Cold Sore Treatments
EverydayMeds offers several proven cold sore treatments through our online service. Aciclovir 400mg tablets represent the most commonly prescribed oral treatment, helping to reduce outbreak duration when taken at the first signs of symptoms. Our clinicians may also recommend aciclovir 5% cream for topical application, or consider valaciclovir 500mg tablets as an alternative antiviral option. Each treatment works by preventing the herpes virus from reproducing, potentially shortening healing time.

Cold sores develop quickly, so prompt treatment access is essential for optimal effectiveness. EverydayMeds offers next-day delivery service across the UK, ensuring you receive treatment when symptoms first appear. Standard delivery typically arrives within 2-3 working days, with express options available for urgent requirements.
Clinical Consultation Process
Our online consultation involves completing a comprehensive medical questionnaire covering your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. UK-registered clinicians review each submission individually, ensuring treatment suitability and safety. If approved, your prescription is processed immediately and dispatched from our registered pharmacy facility.
When to Seek Treatment
Antiviral treatments like aciclovir work most effectively when started during the initial tingling stage, before blisters fully develop. However, treatment may still provide benefit if started within 72 hours of symptom onset. Our clinicians can advise on optimal timing and provide guidance for future outbreak management.
Treatment Effectiveness
Clinical studies suggest that aciclovir treatment may help reduce cold sore healing time by 1-2 days when started early. The medication works by interfering with viral DNA replication, limiting the virus's ability to spread and reproduce. Individual response varies, but many patients report reduced severity and duration of symptoms.
