Effectiveness

How Sitavig Affects PatientsAcyclovir is a drug that stops the spread of viruses associated with herpes, such as cold sores. It works by blocking the DNA replication of the virus. Acyclovir is usually safe to take, even in large doses, and so it has a wide range of doses it can be taken at.
How Sitavig works in the bodyAcyclovir works by interfering with the virus's ability to reproduce. When a virus infects a cell, it uses an enzyme called thymidine kinase to turn acyclovir into a form called acyclovir monophosphate. This form is then converted to a diphosphate form by guanylate kinase. The diphosphate form is then converted to the active form, acyclovir triphosphate, by enzymes like pyruvate kinase. Acyclovir triphosphate has a high affinity for the virus's DNA polymerase, and

Sitavig for Cold Sore
This pill is way too expensive for how ineffective it is. I had to keep taking oral pills even after starting this treatment, and I tried it twice just to give it a chance. No dice.
