Avatar m tn I need to have my wisdom teeth removed and will be under deep anesthesia. I have HSV and take valacyclovir daily but would prefer not to have that known by the surgeon for personal reasons. I understand it is best to always tell them all medications, but is there any chance of an issue with the meds (or HSV) and surgery? Other than maybe a flare up? I'm mostly concerned about serious interactions/side effects.
Avatar f tn I have been taking medication for Hepatis B since 5 months ago, 0.5 mg Baraclude. On Sunday, I noticed that I had painful red bumps in the genital area. Some of the bumps were filled with water and by Monday they had bursted. It was so painful and itching. I went to see a specialist (because of the holiday season the regular doctor was not there) so I saw a Nurse Practitioner. She thought that it may not have been from shaving, but it would be from Herpes.
Avatar m tn t have any interactions with your valtrex but topical steroids in the genital area can sometimes trigger herpes to be more active. also make sure you increase the fiber in your diet so you can avoid constipation and help reduce the recurrence of your hemorrhoids. if you have a job where you sit a lot, make an effort to get up and walk around regularly and take the pressure off of your pelvis too.
Avatar f tn I am a 40 year old female with genital HSV1, I am currently going through my initial outbreak, I have a prescription for Valtrex. I will be seeing a potential sexual partner in several weeks. What are the chances of him(he is HSV1&2 negative) catching HSV1 orally by performing oral sex on me? Chances of him catching HSV1 genital by having intercourse with me?
Avatar f tn i also take hormones and xanax...i read where alot of my meds have interactions...but pharmisits say its ok.............
Avatar n tn If you keep having outbreaks, talk to your doctor about getting an antiviral like valtrex to help prevent outbreaks. Blistex medicated lip balm can help relieve the discomfort of the sore. There does seem to be some evidence for L-Lysine helping as well. Be sure to talk to a pharmacist if you take anything else, though, to make sure there won't be any interactions (this goes for most drug combos, especially if there's a prescription drug involved).
Avatar m tn I recently had a sexual encounter with a woman who told me she had herpes, She said she was on daily valtrex right after we finished up. I think she trusts valtrex more than I do. I immediately regret this decision. I gave her oral sex, and our genitals did touch but there was no penetration without a condom Anyway I haven't had any symptoms, but have read so much contradictory information that it is very difficult to figure things out.
Avatar f tn How good does valtrex work in suppressing HSV 1 I started taking 1000 mg a day?
Avatar f tn So now that i found out that i have hsv-1 do i need to take valtrex everyday for the rest of my life if i dont want to get my partner infected?
Avatar f tn My doctor told me to stop taking Valtrex for a while to let my liver regenerate. While I think Valtrex is an excellent drug for treating HSV 2, I think users should take into consideration that long term use can cause some mild to moderate damage to the liver as my tests have proven. Also, anyone using Valtrex should not drink ANY alcohol while on it because it will exacerbate the problem with your liver. I'm hoping in a few weeks my liver tests go back to normal.
Avatar n tn I have not had any outbreaks at all, I occasionally have burning and itching, but beyond that nothing else. I have been on supressive therapy w/ Valtrex since the end of may. I have had pain on lower right abdomen, under my ribcage it feels, and pain on my right lower back. Is this a symptom of Herpes, or can this be a reaction to the Valtrex?
Avatar m tn I have been on valtrex for the past 4 months (1 a day) if the symptoms I am having have not gone away for a period of 2 years ( symptoms are there for a week then subside for 2 - 3 days then come back ) this has been like clockwork for the past 2 years.
127596 tn?1210922622 Instead I found an empty bottle of Valtrex, prescribed to her. Needless to say, there was no way in hell I was going to use any toothbrush in there. Rather than blowing up about it, I came home and did some research. But I was sad to find that Valtrex is only prescribed for Simplex I, Simplex II and Zosters. So I asked her about it (via instant message - is that bad?). She said she gets cold sores sometimes, and the Valtrex gets rid of them quickly.
Avatar n tn What is the possibility of being immune to Valtrex? Is there a possibility that after taking Valtrex daily that in a couple years it may no longer be effective?
Avatar n tn my partner who i met has been on Valtrex for a couple of years and the pass year we had unprotected sex. I went and got tested and my blood work came back negative. She is ok with the results and angry that she allowed me to convince her and not using condoms. I just can't explained why we did it without condoms only that I love her and we are getting marry.
Avatar f tn How would the Valtrex slow down antibody production? Would it suppress the virus to the nerve ganglia before the body can start to develop an immunity response.
Avatar f tn Thanks. I have started daily Valtrex to reduce the risk of transmission to him. After much discussion, he has agreed, reluctantly, to find out his status. If he's positive for HSV 2, I'll discontinue the med. If he's negative I will keep taking it. I got your book recently and will I'm sure get a lot of information (and much needed strategies for getting my head around this) from the book. Two final questions for you: 1.
