Available Cold Sore Treatments
EverydayMeds offers several proven cold sore treatments suitable for first-time users. Aciclovir 400mg tablets are typically prescribed for oral treatment, helping to reduce outbreak duration when taken at the first signs of symptoms. For topical application, 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 treatments.
Understanding Cold Sore Treatment Options
Cold sores, caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), affect up to 70% of the UK population. Antiviral treatments like aciclovir work by preventing the virus from reproducing, potentially reducing both severity and healing time. Oral aciclovir tablets are often preferred for frequent outbreaks, while topical creams may suit occasional sufferers. Treatment is most effective when started during the tingling phase before blisters appear.
The Online Consultation Process
Our streamlined consultation takes just minutes to complete. You'll answer questions about your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. This information helps our pharmacists determine the most appropriate treatment for your situation. All consultations are reviewed by UK-registered healthcare professionals who may recommend aciclovir tablets, topical treatments, or combination approaches based on your needs.
What to Expect from Treatment
Cold sore treatments aim to reduce outbreak severity and duration rather than cure the underlying viral infection. Aciclovir tablets are typically taken 2-3 times daily for 5 days, while creams should be applied every 4 hours during waking hours. Starting treatment early, ideally within 24 hours of symptom onset, tends to produce better outcomes. Our pharmacists provide detailed instructions with every order.
Ordering and Delivery
Once your consultation is approved, your cold sore treatment is dispensed and prepared for delivery. We offer discreet packaging and next-day delivery options throughout the UK. Your order includes patient information leaflets and guidance on proper usage. For ongoing treatment needs, you can easily reorder through your EverydayMeds account or complete a new consultation if your requirements change.
