I have been taking acyclovir twice daily (morning and evening) for about 3 years now as part of my treatment plan.

My hematologist has kept me on it because I am receiving ongoing myeloma treatment and also high risk myeloma and it helps reduce the risk of shingles and certain viral infections while my immune system is suppressed.

So far, I have tolerated it well and have continued taking it as prescribed.

It seems quite common for myeloma patients on long-term treatment or maintenance therapy to remain on acyclovir for several years.

Wishing you all the best.

I've been on it for 6 years

I have had mild shingles before being diagnosed but have taken acylovir 400 mg once a day for past 4 years no problems.

Valcyclovir 500mg twice dai ly. Revlimid 21 days on 7 days off. All labs are good.

I have been on 400 mg acyclovir twice a day since July 2015.
