How to Buy Cold Sore Treatment Online
Online Consultation Process
Ordering cold sore treatment through EverydayMeds is straightforward and convenient. Start by completing our confidential online consultation form, where you'll provide details about your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. Our UK-registered prescribers will review your information within hours and determine if prescription treatment is suitable for you.
Available Cold Sore Treatments
EverydayMeds stocks a comprehensive range of cold sore treatments to suit different needs and preferences. Aciclovir 400mg tablets are our most popular prescription option, offering effective antiviral action when taken at the first sign of symptoms. We also offer Aciclovir 5% cream for topical application, plus alternative antivirals like Valaciclovir 500mg tablets and branded Valtrex for those who may benefit from different treatment approaches.
When to Start Treatment
Cold sore treatment works best when started early, ideally at the first tingling sensation before blisters appear. Aciclovir tablets can help reduce the severity and duration of outbreaks when taken promptly. Many patients keep a supply at home so they can begin treatment immediately when they feel an outbreak starting.
Treatment Duration and Dosage
The typical course for cold sore treatment involves taking Aciclovir tablets five times daily for five days. Your prescriber will provide specific dosing instructions based on your individual circumstances. It's important to complete the full course even if symptoms improve quickly.
Who Can Use Cold Sore Tablets
Most adults can safely use prescription cold sore treatments, though certain medical conditions or medications may affect suitability. During your online consultation, our prescribers will check for any contraindications and ensure the treatment is appropriate for you. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should discuss treatment options carefully with healthcare providers.
Delivery and Packaging
All orders are dispatched in discreet, unmarked packaging to protect your privacy. We offer free next-day delivery to most UK addresses, with same-day delivery available in selected areas. Tracking information is provided so you can monitor your order's progress.
Managing Recurrent Cold Sores
For people who experience frequent outbreaks, our prescribers may recommend keeping treatment readily available at home. Some patients benefit from suppressive therapy for very frequent episodes, though this requires careful assessment and ongoing monitoring.
