valtrex

Avatar n tn Do not take NSAIDS they cause hearing loss, including aspirin, but there are benefits to taking aspirin
Avatar n tn You can also take over-the-counter pain medicines, such as acetaminophen, aspirin, or ibuprofen, to help reduce pain during an attack of shingles and antibiotics to prevent any infection. Please consult a dermatologist and get them prescribed. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
Avatar n tn I have had shingles and both times I had this happen I was on valtrex and I am trying to figure out if that has something to do with it. Sop just out of curiousity were you on valrtex or something similar?
Avatar f tn is it possible or would it be more effective or harmful to use Valtrex and Lysine together?? I was just diagnosed yesterday morning and I am DEVESTATED! i have been online all day looking for what others have used..I read all the reviews on H balm I could handle and decided to order the Super Lysine and the 33ML bottles of hbalm and h balm daily. The only thing is, the doctor in the ER gave me Valtrex to take...
Avatar n tn I got worried so I looked up sudden sweats on the internet and found it could be a sign of a heart attack. THis scared me very much and so I got a little panicky and got more flushed and got the feeling I recognize when people have told me I look pale. The sweats lasted about 5 minutes and the panicky feeling came and went for hours. The episode and the feat associated with it are combined enough so I can't completely tell them apart.
Avatar n tn most folks who do, experience it initially when diagnosed and go on valtrex and are incredibly stressed. for most , it does come back. I do know of less than a handful of folks who experienced hair loss while on valtrex, they could find no other cause for it and even after stopping the valtrex the hair loss did not stop. at this point continue to follow up on this with the dermatologist. they are your best bet.
Avatar m tn acyclovir is 400mg 2x/day every single day. she will still get recurrences while on daily suppressive therapy regardless of if she's on acyclovir or valtrex, you just take acyclovir more often than you do valtrex.
Avatar f tn After I posted this I talked to the hospital doc about my negativ test result. She didnt think Valtrex had interferred with the results. I have had "herpes symptoms" four months, taking Valtrex last four weeks. Maybe I could have a new test taken in a couple of weeks when my system is clear of Valtrex? Just to be on the safe side? Just no it is all too confusing. One doc says: HERPES! The other says: no this is not herpes.
1302779 tn?1287405029 i have generic valtrex but i also have chronic migraine and i feel the valtrex gives me a headache. do u get side effects from valtrex?
Avatar n tn Thanks for the reply. Well if valtrex doesnt affect the results,wouldnt 55days be enough for conclusion? As doctors say 6weeks is quite enough for antihiv tests except cemotherapy patients?
Avatar n tn Finally I broke down and in seeking relief on four ocassions and took 2000 mgs of Valtrex and awoke syptom free only to have the symptoms return the following evening. It seemed to help for a short period. Since I had nearly nine months straight without suppressive therapy would it be OK to take the WB now? It has been 26 months since the initial episode. In total I have had at least 11 months without suppressive therapy which includes the first nine months of possible infection.
Avatar m tn If I stop it for a week do I wait to see if symptoms persist? If not begin again, or ask my doctor for an alternative? If so what should I be asking for and are they as effective as Valtrex? Thank you.
Avatar m tn Six months ago I contracted HSV2 and now have groin and neck pain but also numbness in my left leg. The in pain in my neck is debilitating and never goes away but does change in its degree. Sometimes I can't turn my head at all or touch my shoulders. Do you have any recommendations. Started taking a B-vitamin complex about a week ago. Hoping that will help because IB profin, tylenol nor aspirin helps. Should I see a neurologist or an infectious disease doctor?
Avatar f tn I have been taking Valtrex regularly for 2 months and I have been taking 1 gram of Valtrex steadily for 2 weeks, and it is not going away. Valtrex has always worked quickly when I have had outbreaks in the past. The symptoms of this lesion (itchiness or soreness) come and go. What could be causing this? Could it be something other than herpes? Could the Valtrex be harmful to my baby? I go to the doctor again, soon, but want to be armed with all the inform. I can.
Avatar f tn I recently was diagnosed with Herpes I've yet to go get a blood test done but I was put on Valtrex. I was so scared that I went and bout an Oraquick test I tested negative, two days later I still couldn't get it out of my mind and went and got two more tests while on Valtrex and all three said Negative. I know this question is asked over and over but, are my test conclusive even on Valtrex? My last exposure was 9 months ago if that wasn't clarified?
Avatar n tn s office and it came back negative. I am also on Valtrex for herpes. Can valtrex effect the results, should i retest again?
Avatar f tn ve been taking 500mg of Valtrex every night and plan to do so for the next year to year and a half as suggested by my doctor. I have had no other outbreaks since the first one. My doctor explained to me that taking Valtrex on a regimen would help the virus become dormant. I was wondering what that meant specifically in terms of my likelihood of transmitting the virus to sexual partners with or without condoms.
Avatar f tn Still have this headache and upset to my stomach and week. Still have some chest pain and I am now a little concerned over the whole thing. Told my dr how I felt and she wanted to do blood work but decided to put me on another medicine. Effient (prasugrel). I did some research on the medicine and I am not sure I want to take this type of med. This could cause bleeding??? Why would I want to take a drug that could cause bleeding.
1713150 tn?1314467342 By the way, my suppressive therapy dose is 500 mg valtrex (the generic of valtrex) 2x daily. So... after the 1st and only outbreak I was taking 1,000 mg 2x daily.
Avatar f tn I had never heard of the one day dose until now. just went and looked it up and will definitely try that on the day of my infusion and when I have my next outbreak. that is so much more convenient.
Avatar f tn Has anyone ever had their cat on low dose aspirin for a long time? Our twelve year old cat was diagnosed with as heart condition, along with other things. The vet says she'll have to be on heart meds and high blood pressure meds for good, and is considering aspirin, also. He's hesitant because the aspirin can cause other problems. I'm wondering if anyone else has had any experience with a problem like this.
Avatar n tn I have read so often that you should not take Plavix and aspirin, but it seems to also be common to prescribe both plavix and aspirin in certain situations. I am worried and confused. Thanks.
