Available Cold Sore Treatments
EverydayMeds offers several proven antiviral treatments for cold sores. Aciclovir 400mg tablets are our primary prescription option, working by stopping the herpes virus from reproducing and helping to reduce outbreak severity. We also stock Aciclovir 5% cream for topical application, Valaciclovir 500mg tablets as an alternative oral treatment, and Valtrex 500mg tablets as the branded version of valaciclovir.
Understanding Cold Sore Outbreaks
Cold sores, caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), typically begin with tingling or burning sensations around the lips. Within 24-48 hours, small fluid-filled blisters develop, which then burst and form crusts before healing over 7-10 days. Early treatment with antiviral medication can significantly reduce the duration and severity of symptoms, making prompt access to treatment crucial.
Why Choose Prescription Antiviral Treatment
Prescription antivirals like Aciclovir work most effectively when taken at the first sign of an outbreak. These medications can reduce healing time by 1-2 days and may help prevent the cold sore from fully developing if treatment begins during the initial tingling stage. Our pharmacists can advise on the optimal dosing schedule and treatment duration based on your specific symptoms.
