Our qualified prescribers review your assessment within hours, determining whether prescription antivirals are appropriate for your condition.
Aciclovir Tablets - Primary Treatment Option
Aciclovir 400mg tablets represent the most commonly prescribed antiviral for cold sore management. This prescription medication works by inhibiting viral replication, potentially reducing outbreak duration when treatment begins during the initial tingling phase. The typical course involves taking one tablet three times daily for five days, though your prescriber may adjust dosing based on your specific circumstances.
Cost-Effective Per-Tablet Pricing
EverydayMeds offers transparent pricing for cold sore treatments. Aciclovir 400mg tablets are available in various pack sizes, allowing you to choose the most cost-effective option. Larger quantities typically offer better per-tablet value, making them suitable for individuals experiencing frequent outbreaks who may benefit from having treatment readily available.
Alternative Antiviral Options Available
Beyond Aciclovir tablets, our range includes Valaciclovir 500mg tablets and topical Aciclovir 5% cream. Valaciclovir may offer convenient twice-daily dosing compared to Aciclovir's three-times-daily regimen. Your prescriber will recommend the most appropriate treatment considering factors like outbreak frequency, severity, and your lifestyle requirements.
When to Start Antiviral Treatment
Antiviral effectiveness depends significantly on treatment timing. Beginning therapy during the prodromal phase - when you first notice tingling, burning, or itching sensations - typically yields the best outcomes. Starting treatment after blisters have fully formed may still provide some benefit, though the impact on outbreak duration may be reduced.
