Just starting azathioprine today. Doing some reading and it says that if you get cold sores (herpes simplex ) whilst on immunosuppressants that oral acyclovir should be considered at he time of symptoms as there is a risk of disseminated infections (yikes-sounds nasty). I get them all the time but don't want more meds unless necessary.
Should be considered not a helpful remark...anyone out there had cold sores and on immunosuppressants - were you given oral antivirals? (like acyclovir/zovirax /famvir etc)
