Do I need to see a doctor for a pill prescription to reduce my chances of getting one? Or are there other options?

I do have cold sores several times a year. I'm careful, I drink from a glass not a can. And it happens to me several times a year and it's disturbing.

I have cold sores several times during the year and I wonder what my options are for dealing with them

Hello the doctor can prescribe a very effective treatment.

Valtrex is much more effective than abreva. It can be taken as soon as the episode starts to reduce the intensity and the duration.

This same medication can also be taken continuously for 6 months to reduce the number of episodes per year.

Can a pharmacist prescribe Valtrex?

No, unfortunately.

Thank you

Do you think it can be prescribed by a gynecologist?

vicky m.lauzon · a year ago

At his discretion if he feels comfortable doing so.
