Aciclovir Cream is an antiviral medication used to treat cold sores caused by the herpes simplex virus. The active ingredient, aciclovir, works by stopping the virus from multiplying in your body, helping to reduce the severity and duration of cold sore outbreaks. This cream is suitable for anyone experiencing cold sores and looking to speed up the healing process.

Remember, this cream is for external use only and should not be ingested.

I only give 4 stars because of delivery…
I only give 4 stars because of delivery time which maybe out of your control. But delivery of 4 days let's you down, it should be next day. Certain medication needs to be started ASAP. I took it anyway but I was healing . But the doctor side was really quick .

The NHS kept refusing me a previous prescribed medication which worked exceedingly well for a past medical issue that unfortunately came back. This medication helped me to get on with my life with very few side effects. After 3 years of being made to jump through hoops by the NHS and getting nowhere, I decided to use Doctoronline to buy the aforementioned medication from their website. Even though it cost me more than a standard prescription charge, it was well worth the money to feel better again. Now I feel more happy and have less pain and symptoms. Thank you for a fantastic service!
