suppresive therapy while on vacation
Last time I went to Mexico I had an outbreak after about 4 days of being in the sun and drinking moderately... I will be going again for the Holidays and would like to avoid that scenario! I get oral outbreaks about twice a year without taking any sort of suppressive medication. I don't want to take acyclovir regularly but would love some advice on how to take it for this 10 day vacation/ doseage etc. THANKS IN ADVANCE!
Thanks Grace! You are the star of the Forum! Would that be 400mg 2x day of Acyclovir? : )
you can take a few weeks of suppressive therapy. start it a week before you leave and stay on it while on vacation . stop it when you get home.
