Zovirax is an antiviral used to treat outbreaks of different types of herpes.(Not all herpes are STD's- chicken pox is also a strain of herpes).



The reason why you should not drink while taking Zostrix is that it does have the ability to cause dehydration in patients who use the treatment. And since when you drink, you tend to become dehydrated, you could find yourself in trouble.



Hope this helps, Good Luck to you.

Zostrix you take the treatment that patients who use due to drought is likely why I should not drink. And when you are drinking to become dehydrated, you can find themselves in pickles.

Zovirax may cause dizziness, or changes in vision.These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol. So try to avoid Zovirax and alcohol.
