What condition(s) would require a dosage of 800mg. Acyclovir tabs. once or twice a day? ## How many times a day do I take 500mg of Acyclovir and how many days if I have a cold sore? ## Acyclovir/Aciclovir is an antiviral medication, so it may be used to help treat any viral condition ranging from AIDs to herpes, including simplex 1. Learn more Acyclovir details here. As to how often to take it for a cold sore and for how long, you should follow the instructions provided by your doctor. In most cases, however, it won't help much after the cold sore has already erupted. It works better at prevention and should be taken as soon as you start showing the signs of developing one. Are there any other questions or comments?

Please advise what would offer relief of abdominal pain as a result of taking Acyclovir (prescribed) for a severe bout of eczema. Apart from the pain, there is also nausea &vomiting ## Hi Jocelyn, Have you ever considered using essential oils for stomach issues? I've personally used peppermint oil for problems like this and had great relief. For Nausea, I recommend diffusing peppermint oil or diluting it with coconut/olive oil and rubbing it on the neck and stomach. Here is a link to a page gives information about other oils you can use for Nausea/vomiting. The oils listed should also help with abdominal pain. experience-essential-oils.com/natural-remedy-for-nausea.html I hope this helps!

I also have a bunch of pills grouped together with my acyclovir labeled CTI 112. I am trying to identify all my meds and cannot find anything about this pill anywhere. It is white and long oval. I believe it is acyclovir but want to make sure and why the hec isn't it listed anywhere? ## I have the same pills - 400mg Acyclovir -- I checked with the pharmacy- it's a new generic form of zovirax ## This identification is correct. Just to add some other information for anyone else seeking, at the time this was posted, this was new to the market. It is manufactured by Carlsbad Technology Inc. thus the CTI imprint. And alternatively, some drug information sources may list it as Aciclovir, but it is still the same medication, it just seems that sometimes pharmacologists can't make u...

I have spent 6 weeks in Vietnam, 1 week Cambodia and the last week in Bali. I did not do a good job of avoiding vegetables and salads, and possibly some bad ice cubes. I stayed in rural places. I have these scrapes that tore my skin in these places: skull, above ankle, wrist top, and below the lip 1/2inch. These cuts are About 1/4 to 1/3" diameter, produce puss and have refused to heal. Also have a cold sore on lip for a week.I am 60 yrs old. Yesterday I went to dr here in Saigon, just returned Vietnam, and was prescribed NOFLUX, TELFAST HD 180, AUGMENTEN AND ACYCLOVIR. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND DECIDED NOT TO TAKE THE FIRST TWO DRUGS LISTED. A thorough cleaning and Povidine and the last two drugs have dramatically improved the look and no mo more puss after 24 hours. Am I making the ...

I ordered these pills online, zovirax, but it came as acyclovir 400mg. Sais made in india and is white round. There are no markings at all. Just the white round pill medium in size ,s this legit? I have over 100 tablets. Concerned they may not be the real deal. ## Did you order them without a prescription? If so, then there is really no way of knowing what you may have received, since that obviously wouldn't be a legitimate pharmacy. That's just one of the hazards of ordering that way and why it is always best to stick with legitimate pharmacies that require a prescription. Acyclovir is the generic for Zovirax, but without any markings, I can't confirm for you that they actually do contain it. Have you tried contacting the company your ordered from?
