Zovirax (acyclovir): 400mgs twice a day will stop an outbreak. The itching will usually stop within 12 hours after the first dose. I have not had to take it for more than two days. I have not experienced side effects from this medication. 7 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

Zovirax (acyclovir): If you take just one pill when you begin to feel a tingle, you won't actually get a cold sore/fever blister. It's seriously amazing! I wish I had known about this sooner. I will get a cold sore if I travel a lot or if I have any minor trauma on or around my nose/mouth. One pill when I feel it coming on stops them from forming, but you have to catch it before the blister develops. Keep taking the pill until the tingling goes away. I've never had to take more than 1 pill per occurance. 14 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

acyclovir: Since using Acyclovir for the last year / year and a half, my breakouts have decreased more than half especially during stressful times. The last 6 months, I've been breakout free. I give this medicine a 9 out of 10 because it's not a cure but a prevention. When they find a cure for this horrible disease, I'll rate it a 10. 6 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you?
