s office today and requested a prescription for the 500 mg tablets of Valacyclovir. He is supposed to call me back later today.
If the 500 mg are too expensive, I will just ask for the 1000 mg next time and break them in half like you said. In general I think I have pretty good drug coverage, but I'm not sure how much the Valacyclovir will cost.
thank you so much for giving me these tips. I'm taking Valacyclovir following my doctor's prescription. I maybe try the topical cream you suggested to qucikly ease leaking fluid.
Anyway, With 2000mg a day of Valacyclovir rushing through my system I have no soares. But have some nerve pain and burning and sourness throughout one side of my private parts, and down my inner leg. The leg area is brand new for me. The other area is not, but never has it continued so long (with or without medication) as it has now.
For most of my life I got Valtrex from a long time on and off again girl friend. We believe we contracted it together.
The official prescribing information for valacyclovir indicates a 1% chance of minor abnormalities of liver function in people taking valacyclovir, which was slightly higher than 0.5% for placebo. That difference was not statistically significant and there is no suggestion even for routine liver tests in people taking the drug. Here is a link to the official prescribing information about the drug, as approved by the US Food and Drug Administration: http://us.gsk.
The next day I saw a doctor and got a prescription for Valtrex. I took 1000mg about every 4 hours for 24 hours hoping it might work like a morning after pill. I have now cut back to 1000mg every 12 hours. She said that she was clean and that she has to be tested every 30 days to work there, but that is no guarantee. I am really worried about the possibility of contracting herpes and I know I should get tested, but will the Valtrex affect the results?
My doctor changed my prescription to valacyclovir 250 mg/day x2, which finally stopped the outbreaks.
herpes igm testing is greatly flawed and we don't recommend it being used. a + igm result for herpes doesn't really give you any answers at all.
when did you last have any sexual contact? do you ahve a regular partner?
I ordered blood tests for HSV 1 and 2. I got a prescription for Valacyclovir and will take it as I await results. I know I had some exposure to risk and I guess Im mostly asking if the timeline for symptoms makes sense.
I phoned him back on the Friday and told him that there was no change in my condition. Another prescription for valacyclovir was written and filled (three 2000mg doses 12 hours apart).
On Monday (six days ago) I seen my family doctor for his opinion. He questioned the administration of the valacyclovir as he thought that the spots on my gums did not have the same appearance as vesicles commonly caused by HSV1. (No blisters or ulcerations).
yes and no. Valtrex is an acyclovir prodrug. what that means if you swallow valtrex and your body changes it into acyclovir inside your body. Because of that unique delivery method, you get more active acyclovir available to fight the herpes virus when it's active so you take it less often. The main difference in the two of them is convenience and of course price.
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.
Do you use protection? Because that would explain why he doesn't have type 2.
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.
Im just about to finish up my prescription of valacyclovir and have absolutely no idea what I should be doing/am allowed to do now moving forwards. For starters, when is it safe to have sex again? And is my likelyhood for another outbreak lower since my initial one was so minor? And my biggest question is when is it safe to get a Brazilian/shave because I have never been the type of person who just likes to trim, I find it extremely uncomfortable when I am not waxed.
The doctor just gave me a prescription for Valacyclovir and i was planning on going back when i was finished my prescription
I believe anything worth its salt would be prescription. I would call your doctor and explain your symptoms. It is clear you have herpes. Your doctor might not want to send over the Valacyclovir pills to control the herpes virus until he/she gets the results back, but there are prescription creams for herpes.
