I'm a bit confused about how to take Acivir 400 mg for these active lesions on my penis, as I've been diagnosed with HSV-2. My test results show my IGG and IGM are both at 183, while HSV-1 and HIV came back negative. The instructions were to take the medication three times a day for seven days, but I'm unsure if I should swallow the tablet with water or if it needs to be dissolved first. I wasn't able to ask the doctor who prescribed it and could really use some guidance. Any advice on this?

You should take the tablet orally with a full glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet before swallowing. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment to effectively counter the virus and decrease the lesions.

Can aloe vera remove pimples?
Aloevera has antibacterial properties. But natural isn't always safe when it comes to skin care. Kindly do a patch test before trying.
