Acyclovir and cancer
Common Questions and Answers about Acyclovir and cancer
famvir
I have been on Acyclovir once a day 400mg as a preventative for outbreaks for almost 2 years now. It has significantly helped lessen the amount of outbreaks as well as the duration if I do get one. I had to recently switch doctors and this new doctor is not willing to prescribe it to me anymore stating that the FDA has linked Acyclovir to causing cancer after 1 year of use. I can't find anything on FDA website or Google linking long term effects causing cancer.
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 father is 83 and generally in good health. He was diagnosed with bladder cancer and was successfully treated with the BCG protocol of Dr. Lamm. After his first follow-up BCG treatment course, he experienced more fatigue and flu-like symptoms than normal, and an low-grade fever. In the course of a few days he broke out in a large rash that was misdiagnosed as a fungal infection.
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.
Thanks for the quick response......Yes, HSV did show in bloodwork, so Neurologist ordered PICC Line and intravenous Acyclovir. Husband was given three three week infusions, 3 a day for three weeks.......short break.......then Acyclovir again, plus last infusion was with Sedmedrol(maybe mispelled). He became slightly dehydrated and his kidneys were becoming stressed so he was hospitalized. Current (2nd) Neurologist thinks my husband has an orbital lymphoma.
I have had herpes simplex type 2 (genital) for about 2.5 years. Acyclovir and lysine have reduced outbreaks dramatically. If I have unprotected sex with a partner who has been tested for herpes simplex 2 ( the test results indicate that exposure was quite awhile ago), will I risk causing my partner to have an outbreak? Will my partner's herpes cause me to have an outbreak?

The test remains an effective, widely used method for early detection of pre-cancer and cervical cancer. The test may also detect infections and abnormalities in the endocervix and endometrium.
Genital human papillomavirus (also called HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI). There are more than 40 HPV types that can infect the genital areas of males and females. These HPV types can also infect the mouth and throat.
Thanks for u'r answer Grace....My partner didnt told me that she got hsv1 and after having sex....i got red tingling rash on my penis that appear from june until october.....sometimes it vanish and then appear again.....i took syphilis injection 2 months ago and now consuming acyclovir.....but after i get blood test few days ago....i'm negative for hsv1and hsv2....and as i said....my partner was positive hsv1 or known as oral herpes. now...how can we have oral sex and sex intercouse?....
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.
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....
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 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).
