HOW TO TAKE
Begin taking Acyclovir as soon as symptoms appear. Take Acyclovir as directed.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions. Try to take the
medication at evenly spaced intervals throughout the day and night. This

numbness or tingling of the hands or feet, leg pain, sore throat, skin
