Available Cold Sore Treatments
EverydayMeds offers several effective antiviral treatments for cold sores. Aciclovir 400mg tablets are our most popular option, providing systemic treatment that may help reduce outbreak severity and duration when taken early. For topical treatment, Aciclovir 5% cream can be applied directly to affected areas. We also stock Valaciclovir 500mg tablets and branded options like Valtrex for those requiring alternative formulations.
When to Start Treatment
Cold sore treatments work best when started at the first sign of symptoms - typically the tingling or burning sensation that occurs before blisters appear. This early intervention window is crucial for maximising treatment effectiveness. If you're experiencing your first outbreak or notice the familiar warning signs, beginning treatment promptly may help manage the episode more effectively.
Treatment Timing and Expectations
Cold sores typically progress through several stages over 7-10 days, from initial tingling through blister formation, weeping, crusting, and healing. Antiviral treatments like Aciclovir work by interfering with viral replication, potentially helping to reduce outbreak duration and severity when used appropriately. Starting treatment during the prodromal phase often provides the best opportunity for therapeutic benefit.
