Common Questions and Answers about Valtrex side effects itching
valtrex
I forgot to add that I have never had a breakout/rash. There is one cut that always appears and goes away with medication. I get it every month, since being diagnosed 4 months ago :( Not too bad, but I have a partner and want to do everything in my power to stop risk of spreading.
I am in week 4 of the Olysio/Sovaldi combo therapy and am disappointed at the side effects I'm experiencing. Prior to starting the treatment I was very encouraged by what I was finding on the boards, especially after two bad experiences with interferon treatment and an allergic reaction to ribavirin. Unfortunately I am experiencing maddening itching which I'm controlling with Allegra and extreme fatigue and an all around foggy feeling.
sorry to hear your hubby is having a hard time. sounds like he is having some of the common side effects. There is nothing that can boost platlets but many docs let them go really low before lowering or stopping the meds. Try and get back on the full strength of interferon ASAP!
Probably the most common side effect is the itching. I have it as well and it is horrible. I have found some relief with a prescription med called Atarax.
It does bother me that's why I'm asking how good does it suppress the virus?
I've been diagnosed with Acute Herpes a week ago!!!! For the past three days, things are happening. THE ITCHING IS ABSOLUTELY UNBEARABLE and I had no idea this was a part of this disease. I filled my Valtrex but I'm scared to take it because the risk of side effects! Here's the thing, I asked my Dr if it's HSV 1 or 2 so I can know what to expect. He tells me it's not too important because if outbreaks are gonna happen, they're gonna happen wherever they want......????
I have used the cream for 2 years off and on, until recently due to becoming pregnant. Is itching a side effect of the valtrex? Now I am pregnant and my OB thought I had yeast infection and prescribed metronidazole vaginal gel .75% for 5 days. (no testing to confirm what type of infection-just visual examination) I got better then got worse with itching, pain and she prescribed monostat....but then I examined myself closer and realized it was my first re-outbreak of the HSV2.
I to have the red rash like places on the head and shaft of penis now for almost 2 months. Other than them being there I have no side affects. No discharge, itching, burning , nothing. However, during the initial break out of this the skin on my penis became very dry and was peeling off like crazy for about 2 wks or so. When this happened it seemed the skin was so thin even the slightest erection would cause the skin to break open.
I used both, and found that side effects are similar; tiredness, weight gain, and a slow pulse. Side effects are more pronounced as the dosage is increased. I had dosages from 25mg to 200mg. daily. Other reported effects are loss of libido, tightness in the chest, itching, irregular breathing, and irregular heartbeat. If you have any further questions, I'd be happy to respond based on my experience with the drug.
Side effects vary from person to person. Some people have few side effects and others have more side effects. Side effects can be accumulative and therefore can increase as time goes on. However, this is not necessarily so and some people just don't have that many side effects. Consider yourself lucky that your side effects are minimal.
Keep an eye on the itching. You can take an antihistamine for the itching if it is okay with your doctor.
Hello,
Topamax can cause itching and erythematous rash in some individuals.Although the main side effects of topamax are slower reflexes, trouble thinking or concentrating, tiredness, poor coordination, and dizziness,yet it has shown itchy skin in some individuals.
I feel that if you are showing any allergic reaction to topamax,pls stop taking it and consult your doctor for a change in prescription.You can take over the counter antihistaminic like benadryl or Claritin for itching.
