Aciclovir question

[Whatiswrongwithme]

Hey guys 

So i have just started taking aciclovir a suppresive dose of 400mg twice a day and just wanted to know how long it takes before it actually starts surpressing the virus and having an effect?

Hi @Whatiswrongwithme,

For suppressive therapy, I read on Westoverheights.com that it kicks in after 7 days of taking it.

I'd say (but please forget me and go to the original source) that if you take it daily for preventive effects (suppressive therapy) that's what it takes to start circulating on your system with the right power.

For treating an outbreak, based on my own experience, it will reduce the outbreak intensity and duration since the very first day.

But more opinions are welcome!

Cheers,
