I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing oral outbreaks while taking acyclovir. It can be frustrating when the medication doesn't seem to provide complete relief. Even though acyclovir is commonly prescribed for herpes outbreaks, it may not work effectively for everyone or in all situations. If you are still having frequent outbreaks despite taking acyclovir as prescribed, it's a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider.

Remember that managing herpes involves finding what works best for you individually since responses can vary from person to person.
