How Aciclovir Works for Cold Sores
Aciclovir is an antiviral medication that works by stopping the herpes simplex virus from reproducing in your body. When taken at the first signs of a cold sore outbreak - such as tingling or burning sensations around the lips - aciclovir may help reduce the severity and duration of symptoms. The typical course involves taking 400mg twice daily for five days, though your prescriber will confirm the exact dosage suitable for you.
When to Start Treatment
For best results, cold sore treatment should begin as early as possible in an outbreak. Many people notice warning signs like tingling, itching, or burning around the lip area before visible blisters appear. Starting aciclovir during this early stage may help prevent the cold sore from developing fully or reduce its severity significantly.
Safety and Side Effects
Aciclovir is generally well-tolerated by most people. Common side effects may include nausea, headache, or dizziness, though these are usually mild. Our online consultation process helps identify any potential interactions with other medications you're taking and ensures aciclovir is suitable for your individual circumstances.
