Acyclovir

If you are on acyclovir how much are you taking? How many times a day? Dosage?

My doctor told me to take 2 pills every day for the last few weeks until the baby is born. I haven't had any outbreaks luckily but if you take them every day, you should be fine. The medicine works really well in my opinion.

Yeah I haven't had to take the pills for awhile up until getting in my last month of pregnancy. But, my doctor obviously wants me to take them to make sure an outbreak doesn't occur. It could also just be your hormones that might be affecting it..? Have you had the virus awhile? Or is it still new?

The meds use to work really well for me too but now I feel like they aren’t as good and my body is getting use to them😔

Not sure on the exact dosage, but I am taking it 3 times a day! Feels very excessive. 😬

I’ve had like the start of an outbreak then it’ll go away.

I haven’t had any outbreaks since last April. But I just checked, I take 400mg three times a day. She did recommend the acyclovir over the other medication. Research said it was better for these purposes.
