I've never really heard of Acyclovir being given as a shot until my friend had to take this injection, and he was wracked with questions about it. It seems like an intense treatment for a nasty virus. Does anyone have any experiences with this particular injection? Are the side effects as life-threatening as the leaflet says? Is it always used when oral medication isn't suitable? Can anyone share if there are any tips for dealing with the side effects?
