Zovirax (acyclovir): Been on Zovirax for 15 years. It barely worked when I started using it for genital outbreaks, absolutely does not work now. Three prescriptions of 800mg x 3 times per day has not slowed down or even put a dent in a 4 month long outbreak.

acyclovir: I went to the doctor today and they looked in the back of my throat. There were white irritated pockets in it. There were sores on my upper lip, on my bottom lip and roof of my mouth. Of course I thought it was STREP THROAT, so the doctor gave me a strep test and it came back negative. He said it was a form of herpes. A viral canker sore infection. So he prescribed me ACYCLOVIR 200MG. I take 2 capsules 3 times a day for 5 days and it should clear it up.

Zovirax (acyclovir): I have been taking zovirax for over 12 years, 400 mg each night at bedtime. I have only had a few outbreaks, caused by kissing my husband who had outbreaks. On doctor's orders, I am to increase to 800 mg each night at bedtime when I do have an outbreak, or when I'm not feeling well. Other virus' can set off a cold sore attack.
