Can I take Aciclovir and Gly-coramin together?

It is generally safe to take aciclovir and Gly-coramin together. Ensure you drink plenty of water throughout the day to help your kidneys process the aciclovir and to prevent it from crystallising in the kidneys.

If you have a history of kidney problems, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before starting aciclovir.
