Taking Acyclovir For Genital Herpes. Having Gas And No Bowel Movement So Taking Miralex But Still Not Rgeular

I recently within the last week started taking 400 mg twice daily for acyclovir for genital herpes. The side effect I'm having is terrible gas and not being able to move my bowels. So I have been taking miralex daily and that helps move my bowels, but still not regular like I used to be and still lots of gas.
Not sure what other choices I may have.
