acyclovir tabs

Its a relentless punnishment and i i think i probably infected my new partner. I am on the second day of lesions and just started the creme and 400mg acyclovir tabs. - Will the lesions heal quicker even though i started now? 2 - Why am i the anti-statistic in that after 12 years the frequency and fierceness is increasing?

Ive had herpes for a year and a half now with 2 outbreaks, last one occuring this past March. Ive been on suppressive acyclovir since then. The past week or so Ive experienced redness, swelling and general irritation and pain around my vagina. There arent any sores and its not where the other outbreaks happened. Also, there are 2 spots above my clitoris (where the labia split) that look like little papercuts that burn and itch.

Hi, I have had 3 cortisone injections for nasal swelling and pain due to allergies. I have also been on Acyclovir for a year, to manage Herpes II infection. Also have sudden hearing loss and tinnitus in R ear diagnosed as viral, possibly herpes. After the last cortisone injection in January '09, I am having a genital herpes flareup which does not seem to be responding to Famcyclovir treatment. Also sores in my mouth. Am I possibly having a Herpes flareup due to the cortisone injections?

I stopped taking acyclovir in December 2011. I have had numerous outbreaks like once a month or every couple of months. I have had HSV2 four years and four months now. My last outbreak was maybe eight weeks ago. Shouldn't my outbreaks decrease since I have had the virus for some time.I would like to know is that too many outbreaks to be experiencing.

i started taking acyclovir a few days ago for the first time for a mild cold sore breakout. 2 days after i started, the cold sores got more intense, and 2 new huge cold sores came up out of nowhere. i have 3 more days left of the medication, and i'm going to keep taking it, but what should i do? these cold sores are not going away, and it seems like its getting worse! so done with these friggin things...

Like most I cannot afford Valtrex any more. I have switched to Acyclovir. I've used it effectively for the couple of outbreaks but it seems to be taking considerably longer. 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?

the doses you take for recurrences do tend to give the headaches :( do you take advil or anything along with the acyclovir knowing that it's likely to cause you to get a headache?

Does Acyclovir make anyone else feel completely terrible? I get terrible headaches, dizzy, diarrhea and feel just awful. im not sure which is worse sometimes.

I`ve heard so much about Stress Tabs and was wondering if they help ? If not what would help ?

Acyclovir is always 2x/day for suppressive therapy. You can not take acyclovir just 800mg 1x/day. It's not effective that way. Call your provider up and question that dose. If they say that that dose works too -ask them to please cite the research that backs that. I guarantee you they can't provide any that shows that 800mg once a day is effective for acyclovir!! do you have hsv1 or hsv2 genitally? How about orally - which one?

Greatly simplified - you swallow valtrex and your body converts it into acyclovir inside the body. You get more active acyclovir available to kick a little herpes butt by doing it this way. That's why you take valtrex less often. We don't have studies to confirm that acyclovir reduces transmission the same amount as valtrex does but we assume it does. http://racoon.com/herpes/v_a_compare.htm this table comes directly from the valtrex full prescribing info.

My guess would be because you get less active acyclovir in your body with plain ole acyclovir than you do valtrex but we have no studies to back this assumption.

acyclovir is 400mg 2x/day every single day. she will still get recurrences while on daily suppressive therapy regardless of if she's on acyclovir or valtrex, you just take acyclovir more often than you do valtrex.

s and viral shedding, the once daily doses of acyclovir were not effective. the half life of acyclovir is very short and just taking it daily is not enough to keep the virus under control adequately.

valtrex is an acyclovir prodrug. when you swallow it, during digestion the body turns it into acyclovir. because of this unique delivery method, you get more active acyclovir available in the body so you don't have to take it as often.

acyclovir needs to be taken twice a day for suppressive therapy.

s a 90% possibility it could be herpes because of the appearance ( a singular circle shaped sore) and the fact that it was still so raw but she doubted it being herpes because there was only one. Never the less she prescribed me with acyclovir to take 2 tabs 3 times daily, do a salt gargle rinse and to soak myself in a salt water bath for the sore which I began immediately. The sore throat went away in no time.

are you taking valtrex or acyclovir? Are you taking acyclovir 400mg 2x/day or just 800mg once a day?

s end. My gynecologist is even running a culture for acyclovir-resistance. Could that be the case?
