User Reviews for Acyclovir

Zovirax (acyclovir): Been taking for 3-4 years with no side effects whatsoever.

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.

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.

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.

acyclovir: I have had herpes for 30 years, had no outbreak for the last SIX years then suddenly I went through a very stressful period and bang. I immediately started suppressive therapy and will never stop again. My only fear is passing this along and am told that the suppressive therapy highly reduces the shedding thereby preventing transmission.

Zovirax (acyclovir): I have had a cold sore outbreak 1-2 x/year for last 15 years usually during summer months (lower lip). I had previously tried medicated lip applicators with little success. A friend suggested Zovirax. I use it now at the first sign of tingling or hardness in the lip. When I catch it early the severity of the outbreak has been greatly diminished. I only use for 2 days and the sore has usually healed in about 10 days to 2 weeks.
