I was treated with Acyclovir for 2 weeks and Phenytoin as a prevention for seizures. After the treatment I had liver disease because of drug toxicity, but it got better over time.
- tzahola 9y agoAcyclovir for influenza? Maybe your doctors thought it was a latent herpes infection activated by the influenza?
- Alex3917 9y ago> Maybe your doctors thought it was a latent herpes infection activated by the influenza? More likely if he went to the doctor with aches and pains then it was prescribed on the theory that it might have been shingles.
- andrewchambers 9y agoisn't that just a generic anti viral?
- tzahola 9y ago“Aciclovir is active against most species in the herpesvirus family. In descending order of activity:[39][40] Herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-1) Herpes simplex virus type II (HSV-2) Varicella zoster virus (VZV) Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) Cytomegalovirus (CMV) – least activity” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aciclovir https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aciclovir
- sargare 9y agoMaybe, but there was no mention of herpes anywhere in the doctor's report.
