Going abroad with Acyclovir

[J.L2018]

Hello, 

quick question as I’m starting to worry, so I have hsv2, I’ve had it for nearly a year and I don’t have many outbreaks as I’m on Acyclovir however I’ve just booked to go to Mexico for 2 weeks and I’m just wondering if I’m actually aloud to take the tablets in my luggage ? Or would it be best to just leave  them at home and hope for the best ? 

And will the sun and sea make outbreaks more likely and frequent ? I know the sun can trigger cold sores but I wasn’t sure if it was the same concept down there as obviously that area won’t be as exposed 🙄😂

Thanks in advance 😌

You can most certainly travel with your medication. I always bring mine with me.

I have been in Australia & only got one break out here- been here 6 months! Got plenty of sun too with no problems even Sand in my bottoms- still no breakouts or  irritation.
