Get Valacyclovir Treatment Online

Valacyclovir is approved to treat genital herpes (HSV-2), oral herpes and cold sores (HSV-1), herpes zoster (shingles), and chickenpox in certain populations. It can be used for both episodic treatment of outbreaks and daily suppressive therapy to reduce recurrence frequency.

Suppressive therapy means taking Valacyclovir every day, even when no symptoms are present. This approach lowers the frequency of outbreaks in people with recurrent genital or oral herpes and can also reduce the risk of transmitting the virus to sexual partners.

For episodic treatment of genital herpes outbreaks, a common dose is 500 mg or 1 gram taken twice daily for 3 to 5 days. For daily suppression, 500 mg or 1 gram once daily is typical. Your physician will determine the dose that is right for your specific situation and medical history.

No. Valacyclovir does not cure herpes. The herpes simplex virus remains in the body after infection. Valacyclovir works by suppressing viral replication, which reduces the severity and frequency of outbreaks and lowers the chance of transmission, but it does not eliminate the virus.

Valacyclovir is generally well tolerated. Common side effects include headache, nausea, and stomach pain. Rarely, it can cause kidney problems, especially at higher doses or if you are dehydrated, so staying well hydrated is important. People with kidney disease may need a reduced dose. Your physician will review your health history before prescribing.
