Acyclovir

Acyclovir is a medicine often used for chicken pox, shingles and genital herpes. Acyclovir can be available in a tablet, a capsule or a topical cream. If using Acyclovir cream instead of a tablet or capsule, it should be carefully applied, especially when used to treat a contagious rash. Gloves and caution should be used. This medication is not generally prescribed for children under the age of 2.

Acyclovir dosage depends on the reason for use as well as the patient’s age and size. Storage should be away from heat, light and moisture and in temperatures that are neither extremely hot nor extremely cold. The bathroom is a poor choice for medication storage due to humidity.

Generally, there are no known contraindications for Acyclovir and other medicine but you should always talk to your doctor before mixing medications or adding herbal supplements to your diet when you are using prescription medicine.

Acyclovir side effects include: dizziness, drowsiness, sun sensitivity. Some people experience diarrhea. It’s best to determine what the effect will be on you, before engaging in activity that requires you to be mentally alert.

Acyclovir risks are considered to be fairly minimal but lab tests may be taken to determine if the medication has an effect on your liver or kidneys. It’s important to follow your doctor’s directions when on any medication. You should be aware that while this medication can be used to suppress an outbreak of genital herpes, it does not prevent the spread of this disease during sexual intercourse.

Acyclovir is often taken at the first sign of an outbreak and used during the beginning stages of chicken pox to help prevent the spread and/or reduce the pain of itchiness and rashes associated with these medical conditions. Your Acyclovir dose should be fairly uniform to ensure a uniform receiving of the medicine which can help to enhance its’ effectiveness.

Acyclovir, next day delivery is available from many online pharmacies as well as Acyclovir overnight delivery options. Acyclovir next day or Acyclovir overnight delivery may cost more than waiting but the medication is most effective if used early in the stage of outbreak so time is of the essence.

When you want to buy Acyclovir online, you may want to compare Acyclovir prices among several sources. Creams or capsules may be priced differently than Acyclovir tablets.

Acyclovir medication is also sold under the brand name Zovirax. There are no known contraindications for alcohol and Acyclovir.
