Frequently asked questions

Valacyclovir alleviates pain and itching associated with herpes but does not cure the infection. It aids in healing sores and prevents new ones from forming.
The length of Valacyclovir treatment varies based on the condition being treated and your immune system's strength. For shingles, if your immune system is functioning well, treatment may last 7 days. If your immunity is compromised, it may extend to 9 days, continuing for 2 days after lesions have healed. Always follow your doctor's advice.
If you have advanced HIV, taking Valacyclovir may increase the risk of Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura/Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (TTP/HUS). Symptoms like bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain, and confusion require immediate medical attention and discontinuation of Valacyclovir.
In case of an overdose of Valacyclovir, contact your doctor or go to the nearest hospital immediately. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, confusion, hallucinations, agitation, decreased consciousness, and coma.
Valacyclovir is safe for children aged 2 to 18 years for treating chickenpox. It should be administered within 24 hours of rash onset for optimal results, typically for 5 days, as directed by a physician.
Valacyclovir can lower the risk of transmitting genital herpes to your partner, but transmission is still possible. Practicing safe sex with condoms is recommended, and avoid sexual activity if sores or blisters are present.
Valacyclovir is an antiviral medication, not an antibiotic or steroid. It targets viruses, specifically effective against herpes simplex virus, varicella zoster virus (shingles), and cytomegalovirus (CMV). It also helps prevent CMV infection post-organ transplant.
Elderly patients with kidney problems may be prescribed a lower dose of Valacyclovir. It's crucial to stay hydrated while on this medication to mitigate potential side effects on the kidneys or nervous system. Your doctor will monitor for any adverse effects, such as confusion or unusual drowsiness, and you should report these immediately.
