Thanks so much ... I did call my doctor and he said to take the zovirax. He also I would need to continue to take it for the duration of treatment.

Pre tx I had average one outbreak a  year. Since being on tx I have had about one every ten days. They are shorter in duration but it's one more thing to deal with. I thought about taking  the meds but I can't add one more. I am hoping they level out with time, I am doing shot ten tonight.  Good luck. Mo

I would check with my doctor and the specialty pharmacist to be sure.

Always best to consult with your treating doc before adding meds to the mix
