It should be OK for your UC...but it is hard on the liver.
how long are you to be using it?
Make sure the doc does liver enzyme tests....firstly as a baseline and then because of the other meds you're on...I'm assuming you had them done anyway considering the meds you're on??
The other thing you could consider is to take L-Lysine...do a search for coldsores (herpes simplex 1 or 2) and its dosage and use..etc.
You might not have to use the acyclovir.
