Valtrex Tablets
Valtrex, containing the active ingredient valaciclovir, is an antiviral medication used to treat genital herpes. It works by inhibiting the replication of the herpes simplex virus, reducing the severity and duration of outbreaks. Valtrex also helps to decrease the frequency of future episodes when taken regularly as suppressive therapy. Additionally, it can lower the risk of transmitting genital herpes to sexual partners.

What are Valtrex Tablets?
Valtrex Tablets are an antiviral medication used to manage infections caused by certain types of viruses, including those responsible for genital herpes. The active ingredient in Valtrex is valacyclovir, which is converted into acyclovir in the body. This medication is commonly prescribed for treating and managing herpes simplex virus infections, including genital herpes, as well as cold sores and shingles.
How Do Valtrex Tablets Work?
Valtrex Tablets work by interfering with the replication of the herpes simplex virus (HSV). Once ingested, valacyclovir is converted into acyclovir, which inhibits viral DNA polymerase, an enzyme necessary for the virus to replicate and spread. By preventing the virus from multiplying, Valtrex helps to reduce the severity and duration of herpes outbreaks, alleviates symptoms, and decreases the risk of transmitting the infection to others.
How to Take Valtrex Tablets
To use Valtrex Tablets effectively, follow these guidelines:
- Dosage: For genital herpes treatment, the typical dosage is 500 mg taken twice daily for 7 to 10 days during an outbreak. For suppressive therapy, the usual dose is 500 mg once daily. Dosages may vary based on the specific condition being treated and individual patient needs.
- Administration: Take the tablet with a full glass of water. Valtrex can be taken with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush, chew, or split it.
- Consistency: For best results, take Valtrex at the same times each day to maintain consistent levels of the medication in your system. Complete the full course of treatment as prescribed, even if your symptoms improve before finishing the medication.
Who Should Use Valtrex Tablets?
Valtrex Tablets are suitable for adults and adolescents who require treatment for genital herpes, cold sores, shingles, or other viral infections caused by HSV or varicella-zoster virus (VZV). It is particularly effective for managing genital herpes outbreaks, reducing symptom severity, and decreasing the frequency of recurrences. Consult your healthcare provider if you are unsure about using Valtrex, especially if you have other health conditions or are on other medications.
Potential Side Effects and Precautions
Valtrex Tablets are generally well-tolerated, but some users may experience side effects. Common side effects include headache, nausea, diarrhoea, and abdominal pain. Rare but serious side effects may 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.
