Acyclovir is a prescription medication. A healthcare provider must diagnose your condition and determine if Acyclovir is appropriate for you.
Not a Cure: Acyclovir does not cure herpes infections. The virus remains in the body, but the medication helps control outbreaks.
Transmission Risk: Even while taking Acyclovir, it is still possible to spread herpes viruses to others. Appropriate precautions should be taken during outbreaks.
Renal Considerations: Dosage adjustment is required for patients with kidney impairment. Maintain adequate hydration during treatment.
Common Side Effects: May include nausea, headache, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
Serious Side Effects: Rare but serious effects include kidney problems and neurological symptoms. Seek medical attention if these occur.
Take Acyclovir exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Dosage varies depending on the condition being treated. Take with a full glass of water and drink plenty of fluids during treatment. Continue taking the medication until it is finished, even if symptoms improve before completing the prescription. Do not share this medication with others.
