Was given this drug within 3 days of outbreak. PA was puzzled because it occured on the toes of one foot. I had shingles 50 years ago and never forgot the sypmtoms. medication stopped the outbreak within two days. Few side effects.

Have had cold sores and shingles for 10 years. Now I know that if I have a cold sore, within a week, my back nerves will flare up and cause great pain. I take this at the first sign, mouth tingling,and it prevents the pain in my back, and cures the mouth sore.

I was a tad worried about taking this drug after reading the reviews. My Shingles was diagnosed about 3 days after the bumps started appearing on the left side of my skull. The infection was somewhat painful, but not terrible. Within two days of taking the drug and pain subsided and within 6 days it was pretty much cured. A month later there is no pain for me. Sounds like I'm fortunate. ... Show Full Comment
