Start your ConsultationGenital herpes can cause tingling, itching and painful blisters or sores around the genitals or anus. Outbreaks can return after the first episode.
Aciclovir tablets are used to treat genital herpes outbreaks. Treatment works best when started as soon as symptoms begin, which is why some people keep a prescribed course ready for their next outbreak. A UK-registered prescriber will review your symptoms and medical history to decide whether aciclovir is suitable for you.

Yes. Complete our free online consultation. A UK-registered prescriber will review your answers and, if aciclovir is suitable, your prescription can be dispensed and delivered discreetly as quickly as the next working day.
You may notice tingling or itching followed by painful blisters or sores around the genitals or anus. A first outbreak can also cause fever or swollen glands.
If you have not been diagnosed before, visit a sexual health clinic promptly. They can check the sores, take a swab to confirm the cause and arrange treatment.
Start as soon as you notice your usual early symptoms, such as tingling or itching. Aciclovir is most likely to help when started early in an outbreak.
Yes, treatment may still be suitable. Tell the prescriber when your symptoms began so they can assess whether aciclovir is right for this outbreak.
A five-day course is one option, but shorter courses can be used for recurrent outbreaks. Your prescription will state exactly how to take your tablets.
Yes. If you have previously been diagnosed with genital herpes, a prescriber can assess whether a course to keep at home is suitable. You can then start it promptly when your usual symptoms return.
Aciclovir can shorten and ease an outbreak, but it does not remove the virus from your body. Future outbreaks can still happen.
Tell the prescriber how often they happen and how much they affect you. If outbreaks are frequent or troublesome, daily antiviral treatment may be an option to discuss.
Yes. It can be passed on during an outbreak and sometimes when you have no symptoms. Avoid sex from the first tingling or itching until the sores have healed. Condoms reduce the risk but cannot remove it completely.
Contact us for a review. The prescriber can assess whether you need further treatment or whether something else is causing your symptoms. If you cannot pass urine or suddenly become unwell, seek urgent medical assessment.
They may contact you with further questions and advise you on the next step. If your order is declined after clinical review, you will receive a full refund.
