I used to take lysine daily to prevent fever blisters, however, I quit taking it when my doc prescribed the anti-viral drug that I can take as soon as I think I’m getting one. It knocks it out pretty quickly. However, I have gotten 2 this summer so may as well get back on the Lysine. How much do you take?
500 mg per day. We used to take 1000 mg but scaled it back. My wife has the same anti-viral from her doc that she will take if it is really bad. When I start feeling it coming on, I start pounding about 3000 - 6000 per day for a couple days along with the Abreva. Works well. I also tried some stuff called Zilactin-B. YIKES! That stuff burns everything in it’s path. It is a topical and wow, it burns but.... it works also.
