ACICLOVIR TABLETS

Due to the herpes simplex virus in combination with eczema I have had to take Aciclovir 400mg tablets uncountless times since I was a teenager.  Some opinions on the the net are that Aciclovir could be a trigger for alopecia and hair loss is actually stated as a (rare) side effect.  It would interest me if anyone has had personal experiences with Aciclovir and ffa.  For example whether a course of these tablets seemed to trigger it off or lead  to a break out etc.  Thanks in advance for any answers.

I have never taken Acyclovir.

And for a little comic relief here is what Siri typed when I dictated that sentence:

“I have never taken a cycle of year.”

take care

Hi Rachel 

i have used the same medication topically to treat cold sores.  I had chicken pox and Epstein-Barr virus as a child and have always had skin allergies.  Hopefully this sharing of information will lead to something in our quest to understand and eventually treat this hideous condition.
