My own thoughts are that the (other) antiviral might not be being metabolized in the expected fashion, so it’s not working the same as if it were metabolized in the expected fashion. Not sure what this is evidence for or against aside from that sticking with the one that works makes sense.
Thanks. In case this additional detail helps anybody: my brother says he’d take valacyclovir two times a day, and it seemed like his rash (and possibly cognitive symptoms, hard to tell) would get worse a couple hours after, then subside.
