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.
