valtrex treats

PS. He was on acyclovir for the first week.he's now on valtrex. He's been taking vitamins and we are hiking regularly. He treats the sore nightly, applying tree tea oil on it. We are out of ideas.

Hello. I had sex (twice) with a person who later told me that they had Herpes. The person said that they were on supressive treatment and had not had an outbreak in over a year. Within a day or two I started to feel a tingle on the end of my penis an a slight burning in the urethra. I took some Valtrex from her and three days later I was examined by a Urologist. The Dr. didn't think I had Herpes but prescribed 1000mg of Valtrex 2 day for 10 days.

My new kitty, Tommy, is thriving, filling out from being so thin, really coming into his own. He is a joy to be around, really a perfect cat in every sense of the word. I do have two concerns. First, he does beg for food. He acts like he would eat anything. I'm strict about only allowing him cat food...but I do buy every flavor of those Friskies Temptations. We give them to him 3-4 times a day. He loves them all but I'm wondering if he's eating them in place of his food.

I have found out that she has had herpes for several years, and has only had the initial outbreak. She has been on Valtrex since being diagnosed. She recently was told that she could go off of her meds by her DR. When I found out; I went and was tested. I was tested 13 days after performing oral sex on her. My results are as follows: HSV1 = 0.74 HSV2 = 0.38 Do I breathe a sigh of relief and move on; or do I continue to get tested on a regular basis?

How good does valtrex work in suppressing HSV 1 I started taking 1000 mg a day?

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?

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.

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?

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Can taking Herpes medication, such as Valtrex, create a later false positive test for the STD?

She put me on valtrex it seems like the valtrex shortened the outbreaks but i have tingling every day and i dont know why. and I still have outbreaks, so why is this?

OK. So its been nearly 2 months since I've been diagnosed with this inconvenience. Since I never had a "noticeable outbreak", every little itch or tingling that I get spooks me (The reason why I say that is because the time I had sex with my ex, I did have some tingling and 5 days later he had small blisters on his penis, so I know he contracted it from me).

Anyone have success with valtrex alleviating symptoms ?My Dr. prescribed it for 1 week. I also take desipramine (TCA) and have not had any relief from that yet either. It has been 2 weeks. How long can this crazy virus last? Does it subside or run it's course within 6 months? I thought I read this somewhere. Sorry for the multiple questions- this is just so frustrating... I want relief. Any input would be helpful. Thanks!!!

Hello, i had a hsv 1 genital outbreak about a month ago, i have had this for six years and only one outbreak since the first time, my question is, do i really need to stay on the valtrex for surpresive therapy, or would it be smarter to stay on it to avoid giving it to someone else

It prevents or treats herpes outbreaks. 1,500 mgs. will take care of it. And if you take 500-1000 mg daily, it will keep them from coming back. Also B vitamins and Vitamin C are helpful.

At the beginning of the month I had a cold sore outbreak and it went away very quickly. I take Valtrex for my HSV 1 and I'm sure that had to help with it going away so fast. Weeks later, this sunday, the same spot I had my cold sore weeks ago began to tingle. So did another spot on my mouth and a spot in my nose. I started to have a big outbreak. A few hours later I had a tinglng spot on my vagina. It felt like the skin was tightening like the skin near a cold sore does.

s the treats quota for today, and to put the kibble in her pocket, and she had better make those treats last all day! You will be able to work out how much kibble he's been given, and simply cut that amount out of his meals. That way he will get exactly the same amount of food and no more than he should have. That won't do him any harm at all. But all this treating might make him obsessed with food! Really, people ought to respect owners wishes when it comes to feeding their dogs.

We have a dog, "Sparky" 4 yr old white shepard yellow lab mix. My wife is very concerned about the treats I give him. It's my fault I know I started something bad but each afternoon I'd give him a few Beggin Strips or Pup-er-oni's I buy from Meijer's food store, I buy the Meiger brand because it's cheaper but my wife is worried about him gettin really sick because of the food recalls from China and I really don't know if these treats are made there and imported.

My mind is playing treats on me...

Hey, thanks for the response. I wore a condom as soon as the cloths came off. Its not my penis that itches its my scrotum. And she got tested for herpes but I dont believe it was a blood test, so it was just a pap smear.

Valtrex is an acyclovir prodrug. Greatly simplified - you swallow valtrex and your body converts it into acyclovir inside the body. You get more active acyclovir available to kick a little herpes butt by doing it this way. That's why you take valtrex less often. We don't have studies to confirm that acyclovir reduces transmission the same amount as valtrex does but we assume it does. http://racoon.com/herpes/v_a_compare.
