Herpes treatment cream - how we can help you
This confidential service is for people who already know that they suffer from herpes and want to have medication ready
for their next herpes episode. If you can't recognise the symptoms of a herpes episode, this cream is unlikely to be of great
use. We also offer a herpes treatment multipack.
How the service works
Register online and fill in the questionnaire. If it's safe to do so, one of our doctors will then send you the herpes
cream. We'll normally dispatch your herpes cream next working day. You'll need to sign for it when it arrives. We'll give you
a full refund if it's not safe to send you your herpes treatment.
How to take it
The herpes cream we prescribe is an local aneasthetic that you need to apply to the area of skin suffering from herpes
as soon as you feel an outbreak coming on.
Efficacy
While there's no cure for genital herpes, it's possible to reduce the discomfort of a herpes episode by using this
herpes cream.
Potential side-effects
This cream can cause an allergic reaction.
Alternative treatment options
Instead of using this cream you could take herpes treatment tablets by mouth. Someone who gets five or more herpes
attacks and year should also consider so-called suppression therapy for genital herpes. We can sometimes offer supression
therapy off this website, so please contact us by registering online and contacting us through your online patient
record.
Unsuitable patients
Don't request this cream if you know you're allergic to any local anaesthetic or you are not confident that you can
recognise a herpes outbreak.
