How to Order Cold Sore Tablets Online
Online Consultation Process for Cold Sore Treatment
Getting cold sore tablets through EverydayMeds is straightforward and convenient. Our online consultation process allows you to access prescription antiviral medications without visiting a GP. Simply complete our medical questionnaire, which takes just a few minutes, and one of our qualified prescribers will review your information to determine if treatment is suitable for you.
Available Cold Sore Treatments
EverydayMeds offers several effective options for cold sore management. Aciclovir 400mg tablets are our most commonly prescribed antiviral medication, which may help reduce the severity and duration of cold sore outbreaks when taken at the first signs of symptoms. We also stock valaciclovir 500mg tablets as an alternative treatment option, plus topical aciclovir 5% cream for those who prefer external application.
Fast Delivery Across the UK
Once your consultation is approved and your order is processed, we offer next-day delivery service to most UK addresses. Our pharmacy dispatches orders Monday to Friday, with weekend delivery options available in selected areas. All medications are sent in discreet, unmarked packaging to protect your privacy. You can track your order through our secure portal and receive SMS updates about delivery progress.
Understanding Cold Sore Outbreaks
Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), which affects up to 70% of the UK population. Many people carry the virus without symptoms, but others experience recurrent outbreaks characterised by tingling sensations followed by small, fluid-filled blisters around the lips or mouth area. These typically heal within 7-10 days, but antiviral treatment may help reduce this timeframe when started early.
When to Start Treatment
Antiviral medications like aciclovir work most effectively when taken at the first signs of a cold sore outbreak. The initial tingling, burning, or itching sensation that often precedes visible blisters is the optimal time to begin treatment. Having medication readily available ensures you can start treatment promptly when needed, which is why many people choose to keep a supply at home.
