Cold sores: check if you may be eligible for same-day treatment

Cold sores are common and highly contagious, usually clearing up within ten days. Our pharmacists are trained under Ireland's Common Conditions Service to assess and, where suitable, treat them on the spot, no GP visit needed. Answer a few quick questions to see whether this may be an option for you.

This is a quick guide, not a diagnosis. A pharmacist will always confirm eligibility in person before any treatment.
