How to Order Cold Sore Treatment Online
Online Consultation Process for Cold Sore Treatment
Getting prescription cold sore treatment through EverydayMeds is straightforward and confidential. Our online consultation allows you to access antiviral medications without visiting your GP. Simply complete our medical questionnaire, which takes around 5 minutes, detailing your symptoms and medical history. One of our UK-registered pharmacists will review your consultation within 24 hours and determine the most suitable treatment option.
Aciclovir Tablets: Primary Cold Sore Treatment
Aciclovir 400mg tablets represent our most prescribed antiviral treatment for cold sores on the side of the mouth. At approximately £0.85 per tablet, a typical 5-day course costs around £12.75. Aciclovir works by preventing the herpes simplex virus from replicating, potentially reducing outbreak duration from 7-10 days to 4-6 days when taken early. The medication is most effective when started within 24 hours of initial tingling or burning sensations.
Alternative Antiviral Options Available
For patients who may not respond optimally to aciclovir, EverydayMeds stocks Valaciclovir 500mg tablets as an alternative treatment. Valaciclovir is converted to aciclovir in the body but may offer improved bioavailability. We also provide Aciclovir 5% cream for those preferring topical treatment, though oral antivirals are generally more effective for recurrent outbreaks.
Cost-Effective Treatment Packages
Understanding that cold sores can recur, EverydayMeds offers various package options to provide better value per tablet. Our 35-tablet supply of Aciclovir 400mg costs £29.75, reducing the per-tablet cost for patients experiencing frequent outbreaks. This allows you to have treatment readily available when symptoms first appear, maximising treatment effectiveness.
Prescription Requirements and Safety
All antiviral treatments for cold sores require a prescription in the UK. Our online consultation ensures appropriate prescribing while considering your medical history, current medications, and symptom severity. Aciclovir is generally well-tolerated, though some patients may experience mild side effects including headache or nausea. Our pharmacists provide comprehensive medication information with every prescription.
