Valtrex -
Valacyclovir (val ay sye' kloe veer)
Why is this medication prescribed?
Valtrex is used to treat herpes zoster (shingles) and
genital herpes. It does not cure herpes infections but decreases pain and
itching, helps sores to heal, and prevents new ones from forming.
This medication is sometimes prescribed for other
uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
How should this medicine be used?
Valtrex comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It is
usually taken every 8 hours (three times a day) for 7 days to treat
shingles. To treat genital herpes it is usually taken twice a day for 5
days. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask
your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take
Valtrex exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it
more often than prescribed by your doctor. Use this medication as soon as
possible after symptoms appear.
Continue to take Valtrex even if you feel well. Do not
stop taking Valtrex without talking to your doctor.
What special precautions should I follow?
Before taking Valtrex,
tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to acyclovir (Zovirax),
Valtrex, or any other drugs.
tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and
nonprescription medications you are taking, especially cimetidine (Tagamet),
probenecid (Benemid), and vitamins.
tell your doctor if you have or have ever had kidney or liver
disease, problems with your immune system, human immunodeficiency virus
infection (HIV), or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or
are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while taking Valtrex, call
your doctor.
What should I do if I forget a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it, and
take any remaining doses for that day at evenly spaced intervals. However,
if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue
your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a
missed one.
