Understanding Cold Sore Treatment Options
Aciclovir tablets are the most commonly prescribed antiviral medication for cold sores in the UK. When taken at the first sign of symptoms - typically a tingling or burning sensation around the lips - aciclovir can help reduce the duration and severity of outbreaks. The typical dosage is 400mg taken five times daily for five days, though your pharmacist will confirm the appropriate regimen based on your individual circumstances.
How Antiviral Medications Work
Aciclovir works by preventing the herpes simplex virus from reproducing in your body's cells. This antiviral action helps to limit the spread of the infection and can significantly reduce healing time when treatment begins early. For those who experience frequent outbreaks, our pharmacists may also discuss suppressive therapy options during the consultation process.
When to Start Treatment
The most effective approach is to begin antiviral treatment as soon as you notice the initial warning signs of a cold sore outbreak. These early symptoms typically include tingling, itching, or burning sensations around the lip area. Starting treatment within 24-48 hours of these first symptoms generally provides optimal results in reducing both the severity and duration of the outbreak.
Alternative Treatment Forms
In addition to oral tablets, EverydayMeds also stocks aciclovir cream for topical application directly to the affected area. Some patients prefer this approach for localised treatment, whilst others find oral medication more convenient. Our consultation process allows you to discuss which option might be most suitable for your specific needs and lifestyle.
Managing Recurrent Cold Sores
For individuals who experience frequent cold sore outbreaks, our pharmacists can provide guidance on both treatment and prevention strategies. This may include discussing trigger factors, stress management, and the potential for suppressive antiviral therapy. Regular customers can also access our repeat prescription service for convenient ongoing treatment management.

EverydayMeds operates under full UK pharmacy regulations, ensuring all consultations are conducted by qualified healthcare professionals. Your personal information remains confidential, and all medications are dispensed from our registered pharmacy premises. Orders are packaged discreetly and delivered through secure postal services, typically arriving within 1-2 working days of approval.
