valtrex
My new bottle says CPL Pms-Valacyclovir 500mg instead of CPL valtrex valacyclovir HCI 500mg. The guy at the drug place told my boyfriend that it was suppose to be the same and that it was only $14. He said that valtrex is no $50 for a fill now that there is a generic brand. He said that it should work the same and you take it the same, but he said if I notice I am getting an outbreak that I need to talk to my doc about going back on the other valtrex and see if I can get it cheaper.
My story is I contracted HSV2 on the back of my left thigh in the late 1990's not sure where, but it breakout once a year during summer months one time a year. While it was annoying I didn't take anything during the late 2000's I somehow transferred it to my face (confirmed by swab). I didn'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.
One last question (I promise), in people who have outbreaks and use valacyclovir for chronic suppression, is there any clinical or research evidence of resistance the the drug emerging over time.
From this is appears to me that you are quite knowledgeable about HSV in general and you know yourself and your own infection well. Congratulations. In answering your question I need to first point out the huge amount of person to person variability that is seen with herpes infections. Different people have different disease courses, different responses to therapy and different manifestations of infection over time. I will try to provide information that will help.
Im not sure why suddenly im getting more outbreaks . I even went and got tested for HIV in March and my results came back negative. I only had unprotected sex with my girlfriend who also has has been tested for for HIV and she is also negative.The increase in outbreaks came before we had unprotected sex. My OB are also a little different, they seem bigger with more pus filled and one popped up in a new location on the side which I've never had an OB before.
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.
is cryoablation available in india?......
I have been on valtrex for suppression of hsv 2 for 16yrs and continue to have outbreaks almost monthly. Sores in vaginal area are less noticeable but other symptoms such as fatigue, headache, swollen glands, back pain still persist. My husband and I both have an outbreak every time we have sex which is ruining our sex life. Long term effects of valtrex use is unknown outside of possible renal/liver imparement & I'm just not sure if I should continue taking it.
I use valacyclovir for suppression (500-1000 mg per day) and for episodic therapy (2000 mg twice in a 24 hour period). I agree with your doctor.

I now have swollen lymphs in the neck and a lot of pain in the tongue. I also have a sore throat, but its not very extreme in soreness, but it is very very swollen.
I have no rash, but only these symptoms. I'm a 30 year old male in otherwise reasonably good health.
I'm awaiting test results for hiv, hepititis and a few other issues.
Do these symptoms and their progression sound atypical?
I got infected with genital herpes about 5 months ago, from unprotected oral sex from a striper.... I took valacyclovir 1 g twice a day within 24 hours of the initial episode, and kept taking it until I got better, which took a while (a month almost)....
My symptoms (ulcers, itchiness and pain/discomfort) have been recurrent and very persistant since. I think I have had symptoms 3-4 out of every 5 days since day one.
My question is, can Valacyclovir be taken as a preventative measure if I take it a few days in advance of the big event? If so, what dosage? Thanks.
Some topical creams like Prosurx or Acyclovir are also effective in keeping herpes sores dry. Besides, you should wear cotton underwear to avoid irritation. Immeditaely keep the sores clean and dry after taking bath by a soft cotton towel, and don't forget to wash the towel.
If someone could in particular elucidate how valacyclovir works and WHY it would be important/ unimportant to adjust that dosage based on wanting to suppress both conditions, you would have my eternal thanks.
What are the contraindications of taking penicillin and valacyclovir during the same cycle ? Can they both be taken on the same day ?
I have read that Valtrex and Valacyclovir can be used for the suppression of herpes , does that hold true for Valcivir also,, isn't Valacyclovir the generic of Valciver ,, if yes what is the usual dosage for the suppression of the virus?
The cost of a radio frequency ablation in the United States can run from around $2,000in facilities that only specialise in this procedure to around $3,000 elswhere. It is my understanding that medical procedures in India can be as much as 70% less than the same treatment in the US which would make this procedure the equivalent of between $140 and $210 in India if what I have read is true.
I hope this helps!
