Valtrex Details (Brand and Generic)

Canadapharmacyonline.com offers the brand Valtrex from Canada by GSK. The generic Valacyclovir comes from India, also called Valcivir by Cipla, Canada by Cobalt, and New Zealand by different manufacturers. Our customers may also purchase other antiviral medications, such as Zovirax.

Dosage

Valtrex and the generic Valacyclovir are available in tablets with the strength of 500mg and 1000mg; for more dosage information, please refer to MedBroadCast.

Usage

Valtrex (Valacyclovir) is a prescription medication for treating cold sores, genital herpes, and shingles in adults (source). It also treats chickenpox in children over two years old and cold sores in people over twelve years old. Valacyclovir is an antiviral drug that prevents the herpes virus from growing and spreading to help the body fight the infection. Valtrex is not a cure for these infections; it decreases the severity and length of these outbreaks. This medication helps the sores to heal faster, reduces pain, and keeps the formation of new sores (source).

It is crucial to take the medication exactly as your doctor prescribes or refer to the package insert. Please consult with your doctor for personalized advice.

Side Effects

The common side effects of Valtrex may include headache, nausea, and stomach ache (source).

Seek emergency medical assistance if you have any signs of an allergic reaction. Call your doctor right away if you have any of the severe side effects of Valtrex, such as:
• Aggression, confusion, or you feel unsteady;
• Hallucinations;
• Kidney problems;
• Seizure;
• Speech problems

The above information is a summary and may not contain all the side effects of this medication. Please visit RxList for a complete list of side effects. Please note that individual reactions may vary, and not everyone will experience all the adverse reactions. If you still have questions about side effects, we suggest further conversations with your doctor.

Warnings and Interactions

You should not take Valtrex if you are allergic to Valacyclovir, Acyclovir, or any ingredients in this medication (source). Before you start taking Valtrex, tell your doctor about your medical history and if you have:
• HIV/AIDS;
• Kidney disease or bone marrow transplant;
• Other immune-suppressing conditions

Herpes infections are contagious, and you can spread the virus even while taking Valtrex. To minimize the risk of transmitting genital herpes to your partner, avoid sexual contact during an outbreak or when experiencing any symptoms. Avoid touching the infected area, and wash your hands frequently. Inform your doctor about all your medications, including prescription, over-the-counter, herbal, and vitamin supplements. Valtrex may interact with other drugs. Consult your doctor if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. For a complete list of precautions and interactions, visit WebMD.
