Guest guest Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 We tried it last summer when my daughter's HHV6 went up too high while on Valtrex. It was a pain to give it 5 times a day and she wasn't in school. It didn't work and we went back on Valtrex. I was uncomfortable giving 2 doses at school so Dr. G said we could go to 4 doses. It didn't work so we never needed to get the school involved. I hope it works for your son!

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I think I like the idea of it being a weaker med in general. I hope it is less intrusive on his whole system, and since it will be summer it will be easier to monitor! Thanks > > >Hi everyone! > >I think we are going to switch to Zovirax in the coming weeks.
