Your treatment arrives in a discreet padded envelope that could contain anything. We offer next-day delivery across the UK, with orders placed before 3pm typically dispatched the same day. Royal Mail tracked delivery ensures your medication reaches you safely and securely.
Why Choose Aciclovir for Cold Sores
Aciclovir is an established antiviral medication that may help reduce the duration and severity of cold sore outbreaks when taken early. The 400mg tablet strength is commonly prescribed for adults experiencing recurrent cold sores. Treatment typically involves taking one tablet three times daily for five days. Aciclovir works by interfering with viral DNA replication, potentially limiting the virus's ability to multiply. Early treatment, ideally within 24 hours of symptoms starting, may provide the most benefit.
Alternative Cold Sore Treatments Available
EverydayMeds stocks various cold sore treatments to suit different preferences. Alongside aciclovir tablets, we offer topical aciclovir 5% cream for those preferring external application. Valaciclovir 500mg tablets represent a newer antiviral option that may require less frequent dosing. Our prescribers can discuss which treatment might be most appropriate based on your symptoms, outbreak frequency, and medical history. All treatments are subject to online consultation approval.
Understanding Cold Sore Triggers
Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), which remains dormant in nerve cells between outbreaks. Common triggers include stress, illness, sun exposure, hormonal changes, or a weakened immune system. Recognising your personal triggers may help you identify when to start treatment early. The characteristic tingling or burning sensation often precedes visible blisters by 12-24 hours, providing an optimal window for antiviral intervention.
