valtrex

Avatar f tn What are the contraindications of taking penicillin and valacyclovir during the same cycle ? Can they both be taken on the same day ?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn I believe I caught HSV-1 orally about six months ago... I also believe I caught HSV-1 genitally about four weeks ago or less... My symptoms were never more than a blister that appeared on my lips and also on my genitals, but they never burst or popped... Just the common symptoms - tingling, itching... However, on my genitals it seems to be a bit more painful... I have been using a transdermal oxygem cream which GREATLY reduces the discomfort and the rising of the white 'blisters.
Avatar f tn So I've been taking valacyclovir for a month now and I am a week late on my menstration, I am always on time I am regular never had a problem with my menstral cycle. Can this pill delay my menstration?
Avatar m tn As soon as I feel one coming on I take one valacyclovir pill the doctor prescribed me and then take another 12 hours later and it typically doesn't last but a few days.
Avatar m tn consistent condom use; and taking anti-herpes suppressive therapy like valacyclovir. Genital to oral transmission is uncommon, but could occur. However, if it's HSV-1, the risk of transmission (for either genital or oral sex) probably is quite low. Also, has your partner been tested to determine for sure whether she has genital herpes? She could be tested to learn whether she is susceptible to HSV-1 or HSV-2, or perhaps previously infected and therefore immune to a new infection.
Avatar n tn IT IS STILL THERE FOR 7 MONTHS, I TRIED ALL ANTI-BACTERIAL SYRUPS AND TABLETS.. but of no use. Now i have 2 white spots and white patches on the throat, sometimes i can smell foul odor but not everyday. One month after my exposure, my 6 year old daughter developed Fever reaching 104 deg and her lips were reddish(inflammation) and swollen. She recovered after a week's treatment. On and Off she is complaining that she is getting irritation on lower lips.
Avatar f tn I know of someone who was on Valtrex 500 one pill per day and never had an outbreak for years. Couldn't afford them myself so didn't go for it.
Avatar f tn The swab came back negative, but she prescribed me Valacyclovir ( I didn’t take) anyway. Fast forward to July of this yr, i had a Brazilian wax done. The wax was a little hotter than before and burned a little. A day or so later (after having unprotected sex with my ex) I noticed 4 new discolored spots, one on each side of the labia and two near my anus. I went to the er cause they were very painful. The doc in the er assured me they werent herpes or shyphillis.
Avatar m tn 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? I really don't want to tell my wife about the incident if I don't have HSV.
Avatar f tn Nothing more was said as he handed me a prescription for Valacyclovir (two 2000mg doses 12 hours apart). 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn Hi, antiviral inhibit the virus from multiplying and aide in healing. If after 2 weeks with no change would not appear as herpes. You should have had a swab done or a blood test before taking the meds.
Avatar m tn A doctor thought i might have it just by giving a quick look. He gave me valacyclovir 2 weeks ago to take 3 times a day for 7 days. I took all the medicine and didnt see any difference its still the same now. Just small white bumps with no sores or blistering or scabbing. If it was herpes how fast would the medicine help to make a difference or me noticing a difference? Im starting to think it might not be herpes since he gave me medicine 2 weeks ago and its the same looking. Opinions?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn the chance that my partner is getting a herpes as as low as being on a birth control pill...assuming that I never forget a day of pill on valtrex?
Avatar m tn A month ago I had protected sex, using a condom. Already the same day I felt some burning when urinating. Over the following few days the burning increased and spread. My genital area started itching and tingling and I also started feeling some pain in my left foot. My upper lip was also tingling on the left side. I did a lot of reading about STI:s and found HSV-2 to be the most likely diagnosis...
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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?
