Predisnolone and Acyclovir

I started on Predisnolone 5mg x 8 daily, 3 days ago for a lung disease that I have (Extrinsic Allergic Alveolitis).This has now caused a major outbreak of Herpes, which I get now and again - can I take Acyclovir whilst on this Steroid? Desperate!

I don't honestly know Jayenne, but I know a woman who does. Giive the BLF helpline a call tomorrow. The nurses on there are excellent and can answer all sorts of questions. The number is: 03000 030 555. Good luck with your call
