How to Order Aciclovir Tablets Online
Getting Started with Your Online Consultation
Ordering aciclovir tablets through EverydayMeds is straightforward. Begin by completing our comprehensive online consultation form, which takes just a few minutes. Our qualified prescribers will review your medical history and current symptoms to determine if aciclovir 400mg tablets are suitable for your cold sore treatment. This process ensures you receive safe, appropriate medication without the need for a face-to-face appointment.
Understanding Cold Sores and Treatment Options
Cold sores, also known as fever blisters, are caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Up to 70% of the UK population carries this virus, though many never develop visible symptoms. When outbreaks do occur, they typically begin with tingling or burning sensations around the lips, followed by small, fluid-filled blisters. Aciclovir works by preventing the virus from reproducing, which can help reduce the severity and duration of symptoms when taken early.
Aciclovir Dosage and Treatment Guidelines
The standard dosage for cold sore treatment is typically aciclovir 400mg taken three times daily for five days. However, your prescribed dosage may vary based on your individual circumstances. It's most effective when treatment begins at the first sign of symptoms - ideally during the initial tingling stage. Early intervention may help prevent blisters from forming or reduce their severity significantly.
Alternative Treatments Available
EverydayMeds also stocks valaciclovir tablets, which some patients find more convenient due to less frequent dosing requirements. Additionally, we offer topical aciclovir cream for those who prefer external application. Our prescribers can discuss which option might be most suitable based on your symptoms, medical history, and personal preferences during the consultation process.

Our competitive UK pricing includes both the consultation fee and medication cost, with no hidden charges. Standard delivery is free on orders over £40, with next-day delivery options available for urgent requirements. All medications are sourced from licensed UK pharmacies and arrive in discreet packaging to protect your privacy. Payment is secure, and we accept major credit cards and digital payment methods.
Safety Considerations and Side Effects
Aciclovir is generally well-tolerated by most patients. Common side effects may include nausea, headache, or dizziness, though these are typically mild. It's important to disclose any existing medical conditions, particularly kidney problems, and current medications during your consultation. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should discuss treatment options carefully with our prescribers to ensure safety for both mother and child.
