Available Cold Sore Treatments
EverydayMeds offers a comprehensive range of antiviral treatments for cold sores. Our primary recommendation is Aciclovir 400mg tablets, which may help reduce the duration and severity of cold sore 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 Valtrex tablets for those who prefer branded medication options.
Understanding Cold Sore Treatment
Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV-1), which affects up to 70% of the UK population. While the virus remains dormant in your system, outbreaks can be triggered by stress, illness, or sun exposure. Antiviral medications like Aciclovir work by preventing the virus from reproducing, which may help reduce both the severity and duration of symptoms when treatment begins early.
When to Start Treatment
The most effective time to begin antiviral treatment is at the very first sign of a cold sore developing - typically when you experience tingling, itching, or burning sensations around the lip area. Starting Aciclovir tablets within 24 hours of these initial symptoms may provide the best results. However, treatment can still be beneficial even if started after blisters have appeared.
