General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,
The most possible side effect of Aciclovir therapy is renal insufficiency. In an Aciclovir therapy the renal parameters should be controlled, especially if it takes longer. A check of your Creatinin and GFR value is recommended. You have to contact your doctor why you take acyclovir tablets over 10 months and if possible leave them.
