Valaciclovir Tablets
Valaciclovir is an antiviral medication that is used to treat infections caused by certain types of viruses. In patients with genital herpes, valaciclovir works by inhibiting the replication of the herpes simplex virus (HSV). This helps to reduce the severity and duration of symptoms, such as sores and itching. It can also decrease the frequency of future outbreaks when taken as a suppressive therapy. Additionally, valaciclovir can reduce the risk of transmitting genital herpes to others when used consistently.

What are Valaciclovir Tablets?
Valaciclovir Tablets are an antiviral medication used to treat infections caused by certain types of viruses, including those responsible for genital herpes, cold sores, and shingles. The active ingredient, valaciclovir, is a prodrug that is converted into acyclovir in the body, which works to inhibit viral replication. This medication helps to manage and reduce the symptoms associated with genital herpes and other viral infections.
How Do Valaciclovir Tablets Work?
Valaciclovir Tablets work by interfering with the replication of the herpes simplex virus (HSV) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV). Once converted into acyclovir, the drug inhibits the viral DNA polymerase enzyme, which is essential for the virus to replicate and spread. By blocking this enzyme, Valaciclovir prevents the virus from multiplying, thus helping to control the infection, reduce the severity of symptoms, and decrease the risk of transmission.
How to Take Valaciclovir Tablets
To use Valaciclovir Tablets effectively, follow these guidelines:
- Dosage: For genital herpes treatment, the usual dosage is 500 mg twice daily for 3 to 5 days, depending on the severity of the outbreak. For chronic suppressive therapy, the recommended dose is 500 mg once daily. Dosages may vary based on your specific condition and medical history.
- Administration: Take the tablet with a full glass of water. Valaciclovir can be taken with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush or chew it.
- Consistency: For best results, take Valaciclovir at the same times each day. It is important to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by your healthcare provider, even if symptoms improve before finishing the medication.
Who Should Use Valaciclovir Tablets?
Valaciclovir Tablets are suitable for adults and adolescents who require treatment for genital herpes, cold sores, shingles, or other viral infections caused by HSV or VZV. It is particularly effective for managing genital herpes outbreaks, reducing symptom severity, and preventing transmission to partners. Consult your healthcare provider before starting Valaciclovir if you have other medical conditions, are taking other medications, or are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Potential Side Effects and Precautions
Valaciclovir Tablets are generally well-tolerated, but some users may experience side effects. Common side effects include headache, nausea, diarrhoea, and dizziness. Rare but serious side effects can include kidney problems, severe allergic reactions, and neurological effects such as confusion or seizures.
To minimize side effects, follow the prescribed dosage and stay well-hydrated. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately. Inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of kidney disease or are taking other medications that affect kidney function.
