Again, thanks for the reply, the blistex site and box states 5% aciclovir which i believe to be the same as zovirax - i understand zovirax can be taken orally in tablet form, this is not something i have tried - please see below link for blistex site (UK site doesn't list ingredients but the box clearly states aciclovir, the below Ozzy site does though ):

As i say, this is really the only thing that helps with my coldsores.
On three months I had about six outbreaks so the doctor prescribed me with a course of aciclovir and told me that this should stop it for six months. However two months in to taking aciclovir I have had a outbreak! Is this normal? When with the reacurances slow down? How can I have a normal sex life? Shall I keep taking the suppressive a tablets?
he was prescribed aciclovir and valaciclovir both at 200mg every 8 hours for 30 days. From what I have read so far it seems that it is usually one or the other not both. He was able to obtain the aciclovir but not able to find valaciclovir anywhere in Cuba at this time...should the one be enough for the first outbreak...and perhaps controlling any future outbreaks should he use the valaciclovir??
You do not need insurance to buy Valcyclovir cheaply. I use GoodRX. com. You can buy 3 months supply 1gram pills from Target if you are in the USA for around $60! I never even show my insurance card when I go to the pharmacy. Insurance is pretty much worthless anymore in the USA unless you get hit by a truck or get the dreaded cancer.
Valciclovir, Aciclovir, or famciclovir are all anti-vial agents with efficacy suppressing HSV outbreaks. Ask your doctor about one; I don't know if there are side effects that could aggravate Lupus.
Some people do have a terrible breakout during the first episode, she will need anti viral meds, such as aciclovir and an anti viral cream as well, you can buy cream from the pharmacy but I'd recommend she gets the meds, it could be another week before the body fights it off and it is a very miserable pain..
Hi thr all uk mommys so tell me whats the best thing u bought in sale for ur baby and from where??!
hi, i think i'm not alone in this case. I know a lot of people have either HSV1 or HSV2 or both...this is my first time to experience herpes symptom (cold sores). Honestly I dont know if I should take the medication (aciclovir). i've read somewhere that we do not really need to do anything if we get the sores. Some people claim it will disappear on its own within few days. Is it true? so what's the point of people buying aciclovir if it disappear on its own?
I've been given a 5 day course of 800mg x 4 of Aciclovir as a treatment for shingles
About a day into my treatment I started to get chills/feel weak (slight fever)
the next, though I was on the mend, but last night - i had SEVERE chills. Literally i was shaking like anything
Could this at all be related to Aciclovir, or did I just coincidentally get another virus at the same time --- the side effects sheet doesn't really mention this.
Following a course of Aciclovir, she no longer has symptoms but he still has sores present on the penis. The sores have scabbed over and look to be healing - is it safe to have sex without a condom during this time? Or is she at risk of re-infection or a flare-up?
Hey, does anyone know if theres anything to buy over the counter that will speed up healing process/sort out the immense pain/ and help with peeing with herpes? Ive tried a few things, tea tree and olbas oil seems to get rid of them when i feel im getting a tingling sensation but once there fully there i find it really difficult to get them to leave. I wouldnt mind going to my doctors but i get them so regularly i would be there every other month!
Hola, hace 1 año me enteré que tuve herpes genital, he tomado tratamiento episodico, es decir, cada que tengo un brote; tomo 1 pastilla de 800mg de aciclovir por 5 o 6 dias y cedo, la cuestion es que mis brotes ocurrian aproximadamente cada 5 semanas, pero extrañamente hace 6 semanas tuve un brote, a las 5 semanas como lo esperaba volvi a tener otro brote (Creo mas extenso) y hoy menos de 1 semana de la desaparición de dicho brote volvi a tener otro brote, es decir, tuve un 2 brotes con una dife
i went to my doctor and he told me that they were genital herpes and put me on 800g Aciclovir which i am to take 5 times a day for the next week. i have been taking the medication for nearly 3 days but have found coldsore on my lip slowly disappearing and the blisters in my throat have pretty much gone but my genital herpes have gotten more and more painful to the point where painkillers don't have much more effect, peeing nearly brings me to tears and walking is extremely painful.
I know menthol and peppermint can help but since taking a peppermint tablet, once a day, has stopped any further attacks for the last month. I have had this for over a decade and have got aciclovir tablets for it. The Quacks don't like me using it as it's the last known pill for it. The peppermint oil pills seems better than the aciclovir though. Colpermin in good as I don't get reflux with it. Not a cure but not a bad option.
I have had Herpes down below for over a decade and have been on Aciclovir 400mg tablets for many years. I did have a habit of drinking Peppermint tea and found i had reduced amount of infections when in the habit of drinking it. Years later I thought to ramp this up and have Peppermint Oil tablets (200mg per day).
Hi, i anwered in the std forum and noticed that you posted here so lets stick to this post and not the one in the std forum as it belongs here anyway,
BV is a bacterial overgrowth from an imbalance in your vaginal PH, Herpes is a virus and one has nothing to do with eachother.
Metron is an antibiotic and aciclovir is a herpes surpressant medication. The antibiotic does not affect the herpes virus but to be sure best to ask your doctor of pharmacy staff.
Moms who are determined to breastfeed should not buy formula. Period. The first few weeks of breastfeeding can be tough, there's a lot of exhaustion and soreness and sometimes frustration as mom and baby learn how to get a good latch and good positioning.
