20 May 2011	Acyclovir is the only drug keeping my herpes witlow under control so I can work. I just wish there was a way to truly get rid of the condition.

21 Jul 2010	Helps clear up cold sores fast. But you have to begin taking acyclovir as soon as the symptons appear, or it's not as effective. —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending... I agree to the Terms of Use
