Can i do a water fast while on acyclovir ( anti viral drug ) for herpes simplex 1 ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Water intake: It is not a good idea to severely restrict water intake while on acyclovir or most other medications..Inducing dehydration adversely affects your body's metabolism of medications.
