Human Simplex Virus Management with Valtrex Valacyclovir

Genital herpes can be very irritable and painful when you experience the symptoms. Even when you had suffered from an active herpes outbreak earlier but are out of danger now, you know that the virus can reactivate itself anytime and give you those painful blisters and itches. So getting quick relief from an active outbreak of herpes is just as important as minimizing the risk of possible future outbreaks. Valtrex is the medicine you can trust for both. This medicine is also used for the treatment of cold sores in children under 12 years and chickenpox in children over 2 years. Valtrex is also recommended for the treatment of shingles in adults.

Valtrex valacyclovir - How it works

Marketed by Glaxo Smith Kline, Valtrex has valacyclovir as its active ingredient. Valacyclovir is a prodrug, i.e., an inactive or less active substance which becomes active inside the body. Once it goes inside the body, it changes to aciclovir and prevents the action of DNA polymerase, a viral enzyme. The entire process prevents the herpes simplex virus from multiplying and affecting the healthy cells.

Valtrex works best only in healthy individuals

Valtrex can give you relief from the symptoms of herpes and it can also protect you from possible future outbreaks, but only if you have a healthy immune system. This is because the natural defense mechanism of your body must be strong enough to fight the herpes simplex virus.

Valtrex and safe sex - Reducing the risk of spreading genital herpes

You should always engage in safe sex practices, such as using a condom, to reduce the risk of spreading the herpes infection to your partner. Also, do not engage in any kind of sexual activities once you or your partner is having an active outbreak.

Dosing options

Valtrex is a once-a-day medicine, available in the dose of 500mg. Take one pill everyday for 5-10 days to get relief from the herpes symptoms. For the treatment of cold sores, follow the same dosing option for 3 days and for the treatment of shingles, take Valtrex for 7 days. But always consult a doctor before you start using Valtrex for any of these treatments. In case you forget to take a dose, take it when you remember and then take the next dose as per normal timing. Also, call your doctor as soon as you develop the genital herpes symptoms or other problems that Valtrex can treat. Delaying the start of medication may not help you much.

Side effects of Valtrex

The most common side effects of Valtrex include nausea, headache, stomach pain, and dizziness. But these are usually mild and go away on their own. Other less common side effects are joint pain, low blood cell counts, painful periods in women, and depression.

• you have a nervous system problem or kidney problem
• you are suffering from HIV-AIDS
