MEDICAL ASSESSMENT

Q No.QuestionAnswer
1

Are you pregnant or breastfeeding or likely to be at the time of taking aciclovir?

2

Do you have any problems with your liver or kidneys?

  • Please check with your doctor, if you are not sure
  • Renal impairment is part of the ageing process and people over 65 should check with their GP.
3

Have you been diagnosed with genital herpes?

  • People with genital sores and other symptoms of sexually transmitted disease must have had a full medical assessment before obtaining treatment online.
  • New and changing symptoms need investigation.
  • Aciclovir only treats herpes virus infections, NOT other sexually transmitted diseases.
4

Have you been diagnosed with reduced immunity from any cause?

For instance you have:

  • Had a bone marrow transplant or low white blood cell count.
  • Been diagnosed with a neurological abnormality or any condition leading to permanently low oxygen levels.
  • HIV or AIDS

Note: most people who are troubled with genital herpes have normal immune systems.

5

Are you taking any of the following medications?

  • Cimetidine (used to treat stomach ulcers).
  • Probenecid (used to treat gout).
  • Mycophenolate mofetil (used to stop your body rejecting transplanted organ).
  • Ciclosporin (an immunosuppressant drug). Your doctor may monitor your kidney function.
  • Theophylline (used in asthma and other breathing problems).
  • Zidovudine (used in HIV infection).
6

Do you know that:

  • You should avoid having sex until all of your symptoms have disappeared. Genital herpes is a highly contagious condition that can be passed to sexual partners if it isn’t treated.
  • You should use a condom even after your symptoms have cleared to avoid the spread of the virus
  • You should see your doctor if you’re experiencing frequent outbreaks of genital herpes, or if they’re getting worse each time even with treatment
7

Are you aware that aciclovir works best to treat an attack when taken as soon as symptoms of sores start?

  • It is best to start treatment in the first 24-48 hours – it is reasonable to keep supplies at home in reserve.
  • The first symptoms are usually pain and tingling at the site of the sore.
  • Herpes sores always break-out in the same places – sores in new places need investigation.
8

Are you aware genital herpes can be passed on to partners, particularly when sores are active and open?

Condoms provide significant protection from infection, but not 100% protection.

9

Are you aware treatment dose is one aciclovir 400mg tablet three times daily for five days or suppression dose is 400mg twice daily for up to 12 months?

  • This is the prescribed dose written on the label affixed to the packet, and differs from the patient information leaflet supplied with the tablets.
  • Please follow the instruction on the label affixed to the packet supplied.
