Available Cold Sore Treatments
EverydayMeds offers several proven antiviral treatments for cold sores. Aciclovir 400mg tablets are our most commonly prescribed option, 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, Valaciclovir 500mg tablets as an alternative oral treatment, and branded options like Valtrex for those preferring specific formulations.
When to Take Cold Sore Tablets
Cold sore tablets work most effectively when taken at the first sign of an outbreak. This typically includes the initial tingling, itching, or burning sensation that occurs before blisters appear. Aciclovir tablets are usually taken five times daily for five days, though your pharmacist may recommend a different dosage based on your individual circumstances and medical history.
Understanding Cold Sore Outbreaks
Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1), which affects up to 70% of the UK population. While many people carry the virus without symptoms, others may experience recurring outbreaks triggered by stress, illness, sun exposure, or hormonal changes. The typical cold sore progresses through several stages: initial tingling, blister formation, weeping, crusting, and healing over 7-10 days.
Safe and Effective Treatment
All medications available through EverydayMeds are sourced from licensed UK suppliers and meet strict quality standards. Aciclovir has been used safely for decades to treat herpes virus infections and is well-tolerated by most patients. Our pharmacists will discuss any potential side effects and drug interactions during your consultation to ensure the treatment is appropriate for you.

Once your treatment is approved, we dispatch orders using plain, unmarked packaging to protect your privacy. Standard UK delivery typically takes 1-2 working days, with next-day delivery options available for urgent requirements.
