"Took 3 tablets (1,500mg) before my lip blistered, right at the first tingle BUT I still got 2 cold sores. Meds gave me a headache and a stomach ache. Waste of money because it didn't work for me."

"I was getting attacked by cold sores even though I was taking Acyclovir. My Dr had me try Famcyclovir and since I started on it a year and half ago, I've gotten maybe 3 incidences."
