I recently changed jobs and now have a high deductible insurance plan and can no longer afford valtrex. Im thinking of switching to acyclovir because it's alot cheaper. I know that medicine is supposed to be taken twice a day so my question is, can I take both doses at once in the morning and it still be effective suppressive therapy? I already hate taking valtrex once a day and the idea of taking a pill twice a day frustrates me.
