I have been taking Valcyclovir for the past yesr ever since I was first diagnosed. Just recently I lost my medical insurance. The valcyclovir was $125 a month and could not afford that. My dr prescribed me acyclovir which is only $13 per month. He says it will work the same but I am nervous. I am going from 1 pill a day to 4. Can anyone vouch for this new pill?
