I always take it on a full stomach to avoid nausea.

I recently started on on Acyclovir 800mg, 4 times daily. I believe this drug in similar in chemical make-up to Valtrex. Dr. Dantini also prescribes Zantac 300mg twice daily to help reduce stomach acid since stomach acid makes Acyclovir less effective as an antiviral.
This drug is to be taken after a meal. He also told me to place the pill, which is quite large, under my tongue and let it dissolve. This would minimize the side effects which can be nausea and headache.

Good lord! Those things are monsters. How long does one take to dissolve? As I recall, they taste pretty awful, too. I suppose it's better than becoming nauseous.
