valtrex
As such I contacted my doctor and was prescribed valacyclovir hcl which I took (2 1 gram tablets twice daily). The cold sore remained small and eventually went away. After this I went 1-2 days without taking any Lysine or valacyclovir and on the second day I noticed the cold sore coming back again and now appears to have come back and crusted over. I did not think the new cold sore was actually one but then it crusted over.
Due to high fever, i went to er , they did a test for herpes and called me and said I have it. They prescribed. valacyclovir hcl. I just started taking it today. I read that this can be common with people who have aids. I have not had unprotected sex deliberately but condom broke. I had a steady girlfriend but broke up one. I am scared to death that I have aids.
herpes around the eye can be dangerous which is why seeing an ophthalmologist for a proper and more complete eye exam is always recommended. it's always recommended that you get a full exam to make sure it's not infected the eye but is only infecting the skin around the eye. you really should call monday, let them know why you need seen and get seen this week.
there will not be a cure for herpes by the end of this year dear. You need to accept that you have it and treat it.
that can lessen the numbers of outbreaks or get rid of herpes, I was wondering if anyone tried these meds. and do they work, because most of theses drugs cost lots of money. Thanx for any feedback.
Hello again Doctor. I just got off the phone with my primary care doctor's triage nurse. They have approved the Valacyclovir prescription for me, however my doctor prescribed the 1000 mg as opposed to the 500 mg pills I asked for. He says I should take 1000 mg per day instead of the 500 mg you recommended, but I trust your expertise on this much more. I suppose I will just have to purchase the 1000 mg and break them in half.
At the end of last summer I started getting a lot of irritation in my genital area and muscle fatigue in my groin, testicles, penis and left leg. I couldn't even sleep. I did get a very small pimple like bump on my penis that was painful. You could barely see it, but it hurt. I went to my primary doctor, dermatologists, and had and ultra sound done. They didn't find anything wrong.
I have to have a TEE next week. Can anyone tell me how much tje test will cost. My doctor is doing it free. It will be done outpatient in a.m. and I'll be released early morning.
, recently I was prescribed valcyclovir and pred forte drops. I am in the donut hole on my insurance and the cost is prohibitive. Is acyclovir 800 as effective as valcyclovir hcl or as costly?
That's what my Dr gave me and I'm sure it's valtrex. It's valacyclovir hcl 1 gram tablet. I went to get a second opinion at an std clinic and they confirmed I have herpes type 2. I plan on going back to the std clinic next Wednesday so I can ask more questions b/c my primary Dr seems to not be on her A game when it comes to this situation.
Oral HSV first. The recurrences you experienced after you stopped valacyclovir- were they all on your gums and has starting the valacyclovir helped. The reason I as is that recurrent oral HSV is more typically involving the lips than gums. Lesions on the gums are more likely to be aphous ulcers which don't respond very well to antiviral therapy.
As for your genital lesion, it is most unlikely that this is HSV-2. Here are the reasons I say this:
1.
I realize I need to get retested but I'm losing sleep over this. I have been checking downstairs daily and noticed these red little painless bumps and they have been there for two weeks. They look like little zits. I have them in two areas not on the moist part but outside the lips near the hair. They are essentially painless and not too itchy. I've been on valacyclovir 500mg per day and the red bumps still won't go away.
On Thursday I saw the dermatologist and he said it was likely a bad bacterial infection, gave me strong ointment and antibiotic Clindamycin HCL, the ointment Altabax retapamulin 1% and said if it didn't at least feel a little better in the morning go to the hospital. I entered the emergency room Friday morning in major pain, and with a disfigured face. I was admitted Friday evening and given an iv drip with 6 rounds of antibiotic.
I talk valacyclovir for herpes out breaks I have a high dosage one for when I get them it doesn't harm the baby.
Though this is my first pregnancy and I'm 7 weeks.
They told me once I get closer to my due date to take them daily so there is no break out.
t want it there so I started to take Valacyclovir it would keep breaking out every month or so I went on a daily maintenance of 500mg a day. When ever I would miss a pill I start feeling the sensation which I felt when I was going to get an outbreak. I would keep taking it for 5 years. I wanted to stop taking it so I had read some Medical Article's online that Valtrex can rebound.
When I got my colonoscopy my meds changed and I was being treated for diabetes. Metformin HCL 500mg was prescribed by my doctor. When I took all the meds in that I were taking she only opened up this Metformin and smelled it. She told me to smell it and it smelled like amonia. I never paid any attention to its smell. Doctor told me it was not the real metformin and the binders (chalk) used in it was probably causing me to have IBS.
I'm not sure that I understand your response.
1. I think that you meant to say that "experience tells us that when people ?quit? taking the valacyclovir, they sometimes do have an outbreak soon after that." This is my concern, that the valacyclovir takes over and that the body's immune response is less engaged in fighting the infection. Do you see what I mean?
2.
Generic valacyclovir is equally effective as the Valtrex brand. If it isn't working, it suggests that the problem isn't herpes. Probably the best approach at this point is to promptly (within a couple of days) get professionally examined to confirm the diagnosis of the current problem. I'm not necessarily doubting that you have genital herpes, just questioning this particular episode.
Alternatively, is there any possibility you have newly acquired herpes?
And although recurrent outbreaks can occur while taking valacyclovir, they are rare -- and monthly is unheard of. It is possible your HSV has become resistant to the drug, but that's quite rare as well.
As for valacyclovir side effects, you needn't worry.
I was diagnosed with Herpes 33 years ago and have been using 1000 mg Valacyclovir a day for the past 4 years and have been free of outbreaks until a few weeks ago when I lost my job and became quite stressed.
I was able to take one extra tablet of 500 mg which stopped the outbreak from turning into blisters, but I am concerned if this medication is not working for me anymore.
I also wonder if Valacyclovir is the same as Valtrex or if Valtrex is stronger?
I appreciate your help.
I'm on daily 1 gram valacyclovir for suppressive therapy. I can feel a new outbreak coming. Would it help if a take the valacyclovir twice daily for a couple of days to help with the OB?
The Symptoms for the over production of HCL, and the under production of HCL, are virtually identical. The both cause Reflux, Belching, Bloating, Abdominal Discomfort, Irrecular Stools, etc. Unfortunately many doctors are prescribing Proton Pump Inhibitors or pH Blocking Medications to their Patiens which is making them Achlorhydric.
Apple cider vinegar is a way to cleanse the body and balance acid and alkaline, but it doesn't increase stomach acid on a permanent basis. Betaine HCL is used for gallstones, not for stomach acidity, since it doesn't do that either. The reason is that neither stays in the stomach, so it can't permanently alter the acid/alkaline balance. The caution about HCL is more about using pure HCL food grade.
