Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

No, this is not the side effect of the acyclovir therapy.

It never causes such a symptoms.

But there is chance of the cytopenia, gastric irritation and others which are the side effects of the acyclovir therapy.

I advice you to visit the nearby psychiatrists for concentrating ability questions.

Please do regular early morning exercise and yoga. This can improve your thinking ability.


I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
