About Aciclovir tablets Introduction Aciclovir is the medical name for the active ingredient of the tablets. Aciclovir is an anti-viral medicine which stops viruses multiplying and spreading. Dr Fox supplies aciclovir to treat cold sores on the lips.
We do not recommend obtaining medicine online for the treatment of genital herpes and genital sores, as a full STI assessment is first required. Obtaining an online test kit and self-treating may leave you vulnerable to undiagnosed infections. For essential information about cold sores and their treatment read our page. Aciclovir tablets come in various strengths, 200mg, 400mg, and 800mg.
We supply a 5 day course of the 200mg strength tablets, which is the recommended course for cold sore treatment. Various brands of tablets are available produced by different drug companies, including Boots and GSK (Zovirax brand) and Actavis. All have the same active ingredients. The shelf life of the tablets is four years, which means that people who are prone to cold sores could keep a stand-by supply at home for use as needed. How to take Take one 200mg tablet 5 times a day at 4 hourly intervals for 5 days, swallowed whole, with or without food.
Start tablets as soon as possible after the first signs of a cold sore. It is best to start at the stage when there is tingling and burning, even before the sore is visible. Tablets will still have an effect if started later, but results are best with early treatment. Continue for the full 5-day course. If a tablet is missed, take the next as soon as remembered.
