How to Order Cold Sore Treatment Online
Start Your Online Consultation Today
Getting cold sore treatment through EverydayMeds is straightforward and convenient. Our online consultation process connects you with qualified UK prescribers who can assess your symptoms and recommend appropriate treatment. The consultation typically takes just a few minutes and covers your medical history, current symptoms, and treatment preferences.
Available Cold Sore Treatments
EverydayMeds offers several effective antiviral treatments for cold sores. Aciclovir 400mg tablets are our most commonly prescribed option, working by stopping the herpes virus from reproducing. This can help reduce the severity and duration of outbreaks, particularly when treatment begins at the first sign of symptoms. We also stock Aciclovir 5% cream for topical application, as well as alternative treatments like Valaciclovir 500mg tablets for those who may require different dosing schedules.
Next Day Delivery Service
Time is crucial when treating cold sores, which is why we offer next day delivery across the UK. Once your consultation is approved and your prescription is issued, your treatment can be dispatched the same day for next working day delivery. This rapid service means you can start treatment quickly, potentially before visible blisters develop.
Understanding Cold Sore Treatment
Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and typically progress through several stages. The initial tingling or burning sensation is often the best time to start antiviral treatment. Aciclovir tablets work most effectively when taken at this early stage, potentially preventing the cold sore from fully developing or reducing its severity significantly.
Treatment Dosage and Duration
The standard treatment course involves taking Aciclovir tablets five times daily for five days, though your prescriber will provide specific instructions based on your individual needs. Some patients may benefit from having treatment available for future outbreaks, particularly if they experience frequent episodes. Our prescribers can discuss ongoing management strategies during your consultation.
Discreet and Professional Service
We understand that cold sores can feel embarrassing, which is why our entire service is designed with discretion in mind. All packaging is plain and unmarked, and our online consultation process means you don't need to visit a pharmacy in person. Our qualified team treats all patients with professionalism and confidentiality, ensuring you receive the care you need without any unnecessary stress or embarrassment.
