Common Questions and Answers about Acyclovir and drinking

s more about your genes as to how often you get recurrences than anything you are doing as far as diet, stress reduction and exercise. Eating healthy , exercising and keeping stress low are always a good idea but honestly they have little to do with how often you get recurrences :(
no reason to stop eating chocolate!! It won't decrease your ob's and if you are anything like me, you eating chocolate is some days what keeps you from stabbing people....
Last time I went to Mexico I had an outbreak after about 4 days of being in the sun and drinking moderately... I will be going again for the Holidays and would like to avoid that scenario! I get oral outbreaks about twice a year without taking any sort of suppressive medication. I don't want to take acyclovir regularly but would love some advice on how to take it for this 10 day vacation/ doseage etc. THANKS IN ADVANCE!
My daughter was diagnosed with Behcet's in 2008. Then in 2009 she contracted herpes (hsv2). She is now having an outbreak of herpes (starting to get under control after 2 rounds of valtrex, back on acyclovir for 2 days) and a flare of Behcet's. Prednisone will make the painful vaginal Behcet's lesions go away but will cause another outbreak of herpes.
Does anyone have any suggestions? She's about to leave for a required college trip.
Thanks.
My doctor was referring to a study wehre Acyclovir slowed disease progression in HIV by reducing viral load. And so he thought Acyclovir might have a direct effect (even if it is low) on HIV. Maybe he thought that by decreasing viral load antybodies would show up later than in the absence of Acyclovir?
Once and awhile I will get a migraine often accompanied with with a scalp breakout and I stop taking the Acyclovir and lysine until the pain goes away. Then I resume my acyclovir and lysine. I now rarely have any problems. But I always have to go a week once and a while without my Acyclovir and Lysine. Is the herpes virus simply one of my triggers or is the herpes virus the root cause off all my migraines, I don't know. The pain and breakouts are always hemispheric in nature.
Few Lesions (pimple like with red base) come and go everywhere in my body (cheeks, forehead, ear pinna, eyelids, chest, arm, forearm...). I have took acyclovir only for 10 days in October and am suffering a couple of lesions coming up and clearing in few days every now and then. This is companied by random itching occurring in different parts of the body without visible lesions, I also felt some shooting pain for a few seconds (rarely) into my penis.
Hi guys, I was recently diagnosed with Genital Hsv-2 and I've been taking acyclovir-400mg to suppress my outbreak symptoms.. I know you have to drink a lot of water with this particular medication or it can cause long-term problems with your kidneys. I've been trying to drink as much water as I can while taking the pills and the one time I did urinate it was the regular yellowish-color and I just so happened to go to the bathroom again and my urine is clear?
I use acyclovir to and you must know that it doesnt take effect spontaneously especially the first time your using it. It helps relieve the pain though but might take some time to take effect. Just continue use it and youll see the sore will go away within 3-4 days instead of the usual 7-8 days they take to go away.
I am taking L-Lysene as a suppressor and only take the Acyclovir at the first sign of an outbreak. I was taking 1000mg Valtrex at onset and then 500mg twice a day and everything was clear in 3 days. To get the same effectiveness from Acyclovir how much should I be taking daily during out breaks? I have tried 600mg Acyc 3 times a day but it takes 7 days to clear up. Please advise.
correct - he's negative and so are you so no reason to take acyclovir. You don't have any reason to think that you have genital herpes.
I got tested because I thought i had my period but I had my period for 2 weeks I actually was bleeding so I got tested for many things but only this test came positive I got my medicine but after I went to the doctor I had what i think it was an outbreak but it didnt seemed like herpes but sense then i have not got any outbreak and i stoped drinking my medicines is this bad? or should i keep drinking them?
I was told I had genital herpes 3 days ago. The outbreak started about 6 days ago. This is the first outbreak and it's extremely painful. The Dr gave me Acyclovir to take for 7 days. How long will it take for it to stop hurting? How long will it take for the Acyclovir to work?
I have been getting outbreaks Quite regularly, I have tried MMS, Hydrogen peroxide and DMSO and oxygenated water, even silver have. Nothing worked and on top of that things were getting worse, more outbreaks. So if you try to respond and convince me to try the things (I mentioned here), please don't waste your time. It appears that all these things that I mentioned and tried, were just aggravating the virus. I have been on acyclovir for about 1 year now. So far no outbreak.
developing weird lesions and bumps few days and weeks after starting acyclovir and it is now more than two months and lesions come and go everywhere in my body, although I have took acyclovir only for 10 days in October. Unlike you, I was never diagnosed with herpes; indeed i was just taking acyclovir hoping to inhibit a potential risk exposure that i was not sure about. My anti herpes antibodies came back all negative last week (both IgG and IgM).
I've had four outbreaks in one month since contracting this virus. I don't understand why my symptoms are so bad. I got herpes a little over a month ago from my boyfriend who "didn't know" because he never had or has symptoms. When he tested positive he was almost in denial because he just doesn't feel the effects. He drinks more than me, smokes, not really concerned about eating healthy....
we have info on the herpes antivirals used suppressively for almost 25 years now ( acyclovir ) and the rates of resistance are the same as they were prior to their use for herpes.
no, his having herpes wouldn't have triggered a recurrence in you. was most likely coincidence more than anything.
if this red spot doesn't clear up, follow up on it properly with your provider.
But by the end of week 2, more sores started appearing and my urination started to get very painful again. I should say I am on Acyclovir 400 mgs twice/day, and was on an antibiotic the first week, plus pain pills.
I went back to doctor today because of the new outbreak and she upped the Acyclovir to 400 mgs every 4 hrs and put me on another antiobiotic for a bacterial infection.
