What is Valtrex?

Valtrex and the generic alternative valacyclovir are antiviral drugs used to treat chickenpox and infections caused by herpes viruses including genital herpes, shingles or cold sores. Valtrex can lessen the symptoms but does not cure herpes and will not prevent this medication from spreading to other people. Valacyclovir decreases the severity and the length of infection outbreaks and can help sores to heal faster, keep new sores from forming and decrease pain and itching.

Always read the patient information and instructions carefully before using this medication. Follow your doctor’s directions.

• You should start taking Valtrex as soon as possible after the first appearance of symptoms such as burning, blisters or tingling. This medication may not be as effective if you start taking it one or two days after the appearance of symptoms.
• Take Valtrex with or without food.
• You should drink plenty of water while taking this medication.
• Use valacyclovir for the full prescribed amount of time even if your symptoms have improved.
• Lesions caused by herpes should be kept clean and dry. Wear loose clothing to prevent irritation.

Make sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist:

• If you have any drug or other allergies.
• Which other prescription and non-prescription medications you currently take.
• Your medical history especially of HIV, a weak immune system, kidney disease, kidney transplant, bone marrow transplant or if you are on dialysis.
• If you are pregnant or planning pregnancy.
• If you are breast feeding.

Also be aware that:

• It is important to prevent genital herpes lesions during pregnancy.
