Common Questions and Answers about Acyclovir with antibiotics

famvir

Avatar f tn though, I am not yet an RPh, Our instructor thought us, not to drink antibiotics without physicians advice, Acyclovir is an antiviral drug. It is best taken for patients having chicken pox. And you said you have soar throat. Soar throat is cause by bacteria, I think you need antibiotics, but my best advice is to have a check up to your doctor first. Because, you have allergy to some antibiotics and so that they can give you the right antibiotics for your soar throat.
Avatar m tn Acyclovir works by binding with the building blocks of virus replication. Hence it doesn't really do you much harm starting or stopping dosage. In many ways, I consider it too late once an outbreak commences to start with antivirals; bit a drop in the ocean next to your immune system kicking into gear! It is a bias, but I am of the view that antivirals if taken should be taken daily for the reduction in outbreaks and shedding. That is only for genital HSV2 as well, is this what you have?
Avatar n tn The doc prescribed Acyclovir and Bactrum but didnt tell me that this was a form of herpes. So, 3 weeks ago I noticed the same tiny little itchy bumps on my hand - near the same spot on the same finger and when the bumps turned into huge blisters I started thinking....okay, this looks exactly like what I had last year!!! So, when things got bad I went to the hospital again, this time to find out what I have is herpetic whitlow.
Avatar n tn Should I start taking my acyclovir? Can antibiotics trigger an outbreak? Is it harmful or ineffective to take antibiotics and acyclovir at the same time? Is it possible to be having a yeast infection and herpes at the same time? any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
Avatar f tn s why i got a lot medicines- antibiotics (10 boxes), acyclovir as well as progesteron. Did that affect on my liver? But fortunatelly i didn't have chlamidia at all.it was a mistake. i asked the doctor about hbsag and hcv. he told me that i do not have yellow skin or eyes at all, that i'm pretty much pale but not yellow, and not to worry about hbsag.do you agree? i feel pain in my liver and i want to throw up.i have a bit pale waist. i'm not drug abuser.
Avatar m tn 00) could this be a false positive result for hsv1? i didnt involved with any other risky behaviour since june 2013, only handjob with some wound under the penis head. And what Im havin now is painful papercut symptoms on my genitals, tried acyclovir but not relieved at all. Could this be sumtin else n how long should I wait before get retested? Thank you in advance guys...
Avatar f tn To start, about 3 weeks ago I was experiencing bladder infection symptoms so I began self treating with antibiotics which caused slight irritation in genital area. I also started self treating that with vaginal cream. Shortly after I received oral sex from my friend for the first time. In addition to getting over the irritation, he was quite rough during our encounter.
Avatar m tn After I finished my first dose of Acyclovir I went to speak with my primary Dr about being put on a daily suppressive thearpy. He prescribed me Acyclovir again, but dosed at 800mg taken twice daily. I felt that this may have been too high and had been taking it only once a day since everything I had read on Acyclovir supression was informing me that 400mg twice a day was sufficient for daily supressive thearpy.
Avatar n tn t look like herpes (more likely staph infection), but took hsv antigen swab test and gave me some antibiotics and acyclovir pills. After I started medication (both the antibiotics and acyclovir) the symptoms started to disappear quite rapidly. HSV antigen swab result came back positive. Unfortunately the test result was non-specific about HSV1 or HSV2. I was shocked, but eventually just continued with my life. The symptoms did not come back.
Avatar m tn When I started prophylactic treatment with acyclovir, I saw a reduced occurrence for a few months, then they came back to about 4-5 outbreaks/year. I recently switched prophylactic medication from acyclovir to famciclovir, and had a 18-month period free from outbreak. Come yesterday, I had another terrible outbreak (worse than usual)... will these become more commonplace now? Is this a sign of HSV-resistance to the drug? Are there any other courses of action I can consider?
Avatar m tn - Then on my fifth week (around 2 weeks after I stopped the above antibiotics because I am taking acyclovir for 2 weeks). I developed oral candidiasis in the form of median rhomboid glossitis. I applied nystatin drops 4 times daily, and the lession heals to around 80 percent in a day. But there's another new lession seemed to be developing right now. - I have also been having persistent productive cough for almost a month now and have been feeling nasal congestion often times.
Avatar n tn Please, I have developed weird lesions and bumps that started 8 hours after starting acyclovir and now continues to occur even after 2 months after stopping it. 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.
Avatar m tn If the treatment is too short, the disease may reactivate since the symptoms can dissappear a few days before the infection is really gone.
Avatar f tn I have only been sexual active with 3 men my whole life. And have been with my last bf for 3 years. Have never had a cold sore or anything to think I had a cold sore.
Avatar f tn when i went to my doctor she checked my mouth and said she was going provide me with antibiotics.....one day i went to go check the pills she gave me because i was on birth control and wanted to know if it would affect it so i looked up the name acyclovir to find out it was for the herpes simplex virus....
Avatar f tn I have very not understandable situation. I am mail. I ve had relationship with a girl for 6 months. We had protected sex all time. But few times condom creeped for few minutes. After six months I started new relationship with new girl. I still have relationships with she. And I had unprotected sex. In few days I felt burning on my public area and head of penis. I went to clinic and passed all std analyses. Everything came negative. I was happy and forgot. But burning continued.
Avatar m tn Also on top of that, rubbing acyclovir cream on the whole area.
Avatar f tn Hello. Had protected sex with south african sex worker in dubai, vaginal and giving oral. Possible healing gum sore from brushing and healing lip sore from shaving. Condom came off once...she manually stimulated me and put the condom on correctly. As it I came close to orgasm I took the condom off and manuually maturbated until ejaculation on her belly. After, I stimulated her with my fingers using my saliva as lube. I have tested at 10 days for all stds....all negative.
Avatar m tn Syphilis is treated with antibiotics with penicillin often given. Herpes does not go away although people with herpes take medication to end an outbreak and often to suppress future outbreaks. These are antiviral medications like Acyclovir. But from your previous posts, you were told you didn't have a risk.
Avatar m tn I have done a lot of research and I am currently on meds for a uti and the acyclovir. Can Herpes cause this kind of pain with no visible signs? Why would this be lasting so long without an outbreak and why would it take my lymph nodes so long to swell? How long can herpe pain last? Is this typical of HSV II? The girl I slept with said she was not broken out but who knows. Thank you.
Avatar m tn I went to a new doc and today she said I need to go on suppressive therapy with acyclovir 800mg 1x/day. She said this is the new standard protocol (or something to that effect). I'm seeing where it says acyclovir 400mg 2x/day. My questions are: 1. has anyone heard of 800mg 1x/day is the standard? 2. anyone know the benefits of 800mg 1x/day vs 400mg 2x/day (besides having to take less pills, which is nice) 3.
Avatar f tn I have been sick for 1+ week with a terrible UTI and vaginal yeast infection. I was seen last week and given oral antibiotics and oral yeast infection meds (one dose). On Thursday, I ended up at the ER because of the pain associated with urination. It felt like someone had a razor blade on my vuvla when I went to the bathroom. The ER doc changes my antibiotic and gave me vaginal cream to use for 7 days. As of yesterday, I still have extreme pain when I would pee.
Avatar f tn All of my OBs have been on the right side this one seemed to start with a bump on the left but ulcered in the same place as always. I started taking my acyclovir about 2 days into the OB and have been taking it twice a day every day since. It didn't seem to be multiple ulcers just one but it doesn't seem to be clearing up as fast as all the others. Does the acyclovir take time to build up once you start taking it again?
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar f tn I am really concerned as I engaged in deep tongue kissing with a man I'd just met and was on antibiotics so my tongue was raw from thrush. What is the risk of contracting HIV or Hepatitis with a raw tongue? I also noticed from about an hour afterwards that I had a bad taste in my mouth and my lips and tongue starting burning and still are burning a week later. What could be causing this? My doctor suspects Herpes and I'm on oral Acyclovir. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Avatar f tn Because you took antibiotics and it helped you, this is a sure sign that it's NOT herpes. Antibiotics does not treat Herpes because Herpes is not a bacteria it is a virus. Whatever you have is some sort of bacteria. NOT herpes. This is my opinion of course, but this is the direction I would go.
Avatar n tn I recently began a relationship with a man. I am a woman. He gets cold sores. We have not had intercourse yet. My NP recommended 400 mg a day of acylovir to reduce shedding. I asked her if it was supposed to be twice a day and she said no. My questions are these: 1. Is once a day acyclovir okay given I never have outbreaks? 2. How safe is oral sex? What are the chances of giving him oral HSV 2. What are the chances of giving him genital HSV 1, keeping in mind I never have outbreaks of either.
Avatar n tn You are already ten days into the infection. Acyclovir is used to hasten the healing process and to alleviate the symptoms associated with the herpetic skin condition. If this is the case, then I suggest that you inform a physician about taking the medications. You may take the medications however, you need to be closely supervised by your doctor as acyclovir may have side effects considering that you need to take the medications several times a day.
