Acyclovir crossing blood-brain barrier
Hi Grace or other support person,
I was told by the pharmacist that Acyclovir crosses the blood-brain barrier. This kind of scared me. Can you comment on this.
p.s. I did do a search in the community to see if this was already answered but I couldn't find anything.

thank you
no, acyclovir isn't harmful because it crosses the blood brain barrier. the 3 biggest side effects are headache, nausea and abdominal pain.

I just asked if there were side effects. He said that there could be some anxiety because it crosses the blood brain barrier and I just thought that drugs that did that could potentially be more harmful. That's why.
I take Lamictil for a type of bipolar that is classified by some as soft bipolar or part of the bipolar spectrum and sometimes experience anxiety (not often) and I was concerned about about the anxiety part as well. I also take a low dose of Wellbutrin.

why is this a concern for you?
did you ask the pharmacist this or did they tell you this randomly?
