I would encourage your provider and you to seek out other reasons for your slight hypertension, and also appropriate medication and/or exercise and weight loss (if appropriate). If you have no kidney disease, you need no dose adjustment.

Hi Grace, I'm doing okay. Just still going through this skin condition on my bottom and I've been going through so many different creams from the doctor. But I'm here to ask about hair loss and taking acyclovir. Because of my medical insurance, I don't believe I'm able to switch medications, but because this is becoming more of a medical concern by losing hair, would my medical possibly cover another herpes medication?

I'm male, 29y. My urine has recently (for about a week) became of a darker tone of yellow than usual, a bit brownish I'd say. I tried drinking a lot of water for a couple of days and it cleared up, but after I returned to my usual intake my pee got dark again. I searched the other symptoms for kidney issues (pain when urinating, getting tired, losing weight) and I don't have any of those.

Hi doctor. I had unprotected sex with a friend of a friend on last weekend of Jan and on Feb 17th. This was with the same person, just to clarify. I was tested with Oraquick rapid blood test at 6 weeks, 9 weeks and 12 weeks. All negative. I was also tested for STDs as well. During this time, I started dating someone and requested that we both be tested together. He agreed and we were tested last weekend. It was 92 days post exposure for me and we were both negative.

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.

Decided to start taking suppression therapy with Valtrex 1x/day. is it gonna be affecting with the result? all the acyclovir and valtrex? i feel no differences and no night sweats, no diarrhea, no weight loss.

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.

Also are side effects such as hair loss only a concern for long term suppressive therapy? Acyclovir seems to help but it seems like it would depress me even more if I lost hair or went bald because of it. One last question, does acyclovir cause concern in raising blood pressure.

i went today, he send me on therapy, for 6 month take acyclovir 400 mg bid. he says im under alot of stress and weight loss and it causing me the breakouts. i get them about 4 times a month. several breakouts at once. ive gotten std test done, ect, everything came out neg exept for hsv2. im hoping breakouts can go away, my provider said berrys are good for my imunne system and may control the breakouts...

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.
