Headed to doctor in a few minutes. Which anti-viral is helping most people?

I had great results with name brand valtrex and am now doing well with generic Famvir. Good luck!

 

I did great with acyclovir. Just try to get a hefty enough dose of whichever. If you do use acyclovir, sprea d it evenly throughout thr day in 5 doses.

 

That's great to hear! Just make sure they don't give you Mylan manufacturer. There have been hundreds of reports that it doesn't work like the others.

 

You SHOULD do lysine with the AVs. Take 1000 mg 3x per day on an empty stomach. It will not work if you take it with food.

 

The bottle should tell you. Or the pharmacist will know. I always ask the pharmacist before i order it. They will tell you who they deal with.

 

From their website:

 

People seem to do best with the brand name or the generic brand Northstar, if it helps to know.

Good wishes! All this stuff has helped me, and I hope it does you.

 

Scott Tom,

I have been not the Mylan brand for 1.5 years and it has not worked at all.

I had no clue. jeez...so bummed.

I am calling my doctor tomorrow...what exactly should I be asking for? what brand?

thank you SO much for the heads up!!

I just called my CVS and they told me that it would be 700 per month for the brand name...could this be accurate?
30 pills?

 

I just call the Walgreens...
the four makers are

sandoz
actavis
camber
aurobindo

let me know if these are ok as generics...thanks!!

Yes, that's pretty much the case. It's expensive.

To be honest, my suggestion would be to get Famvir. No complaints from anyone about the generics.

 

It is quite common to get worse before it gets better. This is actually a good sign, as it means the virus is fighting back. Keep pounding it. And take 1000 mg of Lysine 3x per day on an empty stomach. That's the whole barrel.

 

I haven't heard any complaints about those, and i used Aurobindo successfully before being switched to Mylan without my knowledge.

But as i said above, it might be best to switch to Famvir generics. No complaints from anyone about that.
