Pregnant with Herpes, can I take acyclovir?

Question

I'm about 9 weeks pregnant and don't meet with my new gyn for another 2 weeks. I'm currently having a breakout that is very painful. Am I able to take acyclovir or is it too risky in the first trimester? If I can't, what other home remedies can I try?

Answer

Did you end up taking? I'm 6 weeks and having the same dilemma but I had to take it :/ I'm so nervous it will negatively affect my baby

Answer

It is definitely safe to take just at 200 mg dose. It’s actually important that you do take it to avoid spreading to your baby during childbirth.
