this herpes medicine with food or milk if it upsets your stomach. Store

up your infection completely, continue taking this medication for the
full course of treatment even if you feel better in a few days. Do not

a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost
time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular

are taking Acyclovir.
Precautions for Acyclovir
If your symptoms do not improve within a few days or if they become worse,
check with your doctor. If you are using this prescription medicine for

risks of using this medicine during pregnancy. If you are or may be pregnant,
check with your doctor for instructions on using this medication during
