Avatar n tn I got zovirax ointment for cold sore but reading i found out ointment is for genital herpes does it really matter ?
Avatar n tn ll have an answer but anything would help. First off, I was originally prescribed acyclovir 200 mg, 2 pills 3 times a day. I have a couple refills on it but the thought of always having to go to the doctor really depresses me and I'm scared to death of someone seeing me especially at the pharmacy. When my refills are out, I have been planning on ordering Zovirax online in the dosage prescribd by my doctor. I know this is probably advised against, but are there any risks in doing this?
Avatar m tn I have been prescribed 5 x 200 mg acyclovir/Zovirax a day when I have a facial HSV outbreak. The prescription and drug info says to continue treatment for 5 (to 10) days, but often the outbreak is gone within 3 days. My doctor couldn't provide the arguments for continuing the treatment for the full 5 days even though the OB is gone. Does anyone know???

Avatar m tn In the mean time my doctor prescribed acyclovir 800mg to be take one table 5 times a day. I also got zovirax ointment to put on the mouth ulcer 3 times a day and this stuff is really bitter. In addition, before I saw my general physician, I was given nystatin oral suspension by an ER doctor and he told to me to use it 4 times a day for 7 days. I did, but the thrush is still there. I been told that oral thrush on the tongue causes bad breath, but to be honest with you I do not have bad breath.
Avatar m tn Dr Hook also gave you terrific advice that wasn't too different from what you were given here. no reason to think you had fake valtrex just because your symptoms are still there - they would've cleared up long before now even without any treatment at all. topical steroids can cause recurrences of genital herpes.
Avatar m tn ok, i cameback to the doctor that she gave me (Zovirax) and I showed her the analysis, she told me because you respond to zovirax so you were have HSV, I asked her for MRSA that appeared in Tongue swab, she told me you don't have MRSA, it's normal to apeeare in this analysis. Ok Iam really confused, I don't know what is in my tongue and what is my situation , what is the medicine that can treat me, will I infect my girlFriend when she will be my wife, or what?????? !!!!!
Avatar n tn not sure why the provider gave you once daily acyclovir when they didn't think you had herpes going on. once daily acyclovir doesn't do anything anyways and it's not something we use for hpv. I'm not sure that is a provider I'd see again. probably over reacting to think you have a std from that night. many things can cause rashes and a newly acquired hpv infection wouldn't have shown up in a week like that either.
Avatar f tn He has had about 6 outbreaks in the last 60 days and the most recent was more than 4 lesions all over his bottom lip. Besides the zovirax ointment, which is difficult to administer since his lips are so sore, are their oral meds vs. topical that would be effective and safe? My pediatrician says he's too young for suppression therapy, but I've read other places that it's available for children under 12. Very frustrated, and just want to give my son some relief.
Avatar m tn Some chamomile baths would help it a bit. And go to your pharmacy for some cream like acyclovir ( zovirax ) to apply although this should be take orally to be more effective, only a doctor could prescribe pills for this condition. Do something!!!
Avatar m tn Yes, my doctor has done only a visual exam on me. She prescribed me Zovirax. What i am worried now is that will i need to take the medication on a long term basis should her diagnosis turn out wrong? Also, does viral shedding occur all over the body or just the site of the lesions / infections?

Avatar f tn It was 5-6 days after the unprotected contact ...and I lost contact with that girl because of this... Didn't want to speak with her again... And the fact when I hade the blisters and cold sores also burning sensation when I gone to pee i call to set appointment but it took few days so I search online and it looked and felt like herpes so I buy Zovirax cream .. And it helped...
Avatar m tn has your gf ever been tested to know her own status? do you have hsv1 or hsv2 genitally? do you take daily suppressive therapy to protect her? no taking zovirax doesn't make it worse. not sure where you read that but obviously not a reputable place :( Daily suppressive therapy with zovirax/acyclovir reduces ob's by 70% on average which helps to have less disruptions to your sex life.
Avatar n tn I was prescribed zovirax acyclovir ointment 5% for a subsequent o/b.On the pamphlet it says it is for initial o/b's in immunocompetent persons as myself.But the pharmacist says it is doesn't matter and that the ointment is better than the cream because it adheres better.Which one is better for subsequent genital herpes o/b......acyclovir cream or ointment?What is the difference between the cream and the ointment?Thanks.
Avatar f tn Topical antiviral creams containing acyclovir (Zovirax) or penciclovir (Denavir) may also help in limiting the extent or duration of lesions if applied promptly to affected areas. Take care and regards.
Avatar n tn At that time I had no blisters. For the next week, that redish spot got bigger and I used zovirax cream to treat it. Zovirax burned the skin in that area and appeared some dead skin instead. After removing the dead skin with mi nail, that area become again very redish and a few hours later had blisters all over. Went to the doctor and I was told it was herpes. I took acyclovir and the herpes healed after a week.
Avatar m tn Continue with acyclovir for the rest of the week. There are also acyclovir creams that could be applied topically. However, acyclovir cream does not eliminate the herpes virus, it is not a cure, and it does not prevent transmission to others. It works by stopping viral replication. Ask your doctor about this option. If the rash persists, inform your doctor about this for further evaluation.
Avatar f tn has been there for over 4 months and has been completely unaffected by my taking acyclovir (1000mg) daily for 4 weeks and counting or Zovirax cream. I have had similar "rashes" for the past 3 years. It has also appeared in the fold between my inner thigh and labia. They come and they go, but only after a very long stay (min. 3 months). The rash is extremely itchy and my scratching can even make me bleed.
1122973 tn?1269732128 I have no idea what test was done, she told me it was confirmed by WB. I havent been able to retest as my gyno told me she can only test by taking a swab from a lesion outbreak, and i havent had one. not in my vagina anyway, skin on the other hand has been going CRAZY, especially my arms and legs. I am getting mosquito bite like bumps and marks all over, and a couple of them have turned to scabs that look like ringworm. i want to know if i have skin herpes rather than hsv1/2 .
Avatar n tn i would wanna know if da igg comes negative after going through the course of oral acyclovir or zovirax is it still considered as CONFIRMED NEGATIVE CASE? my igg came negative after 7months too but i had also taken da course for almost a month of acyclovir 500mg eveyday. I still have PIH even after 5months of first so called outbreak I have now stopped taking acyclovir for almost 3months and sometimes undergo slight inflammaton every month lasting a few hours max with slight redishness.
Avatar m tn acyclovir (Zovirax), famciclovir (Famvir), and valacyclovir (Valtrex) The rabbit hole of "natural treatments" and remedies is never ending and fraught with peril, proceed cautiously.
