Valaciclovir is an antiviral treatment similar to
aciclovir; in fact it's converted to aciclovir once in the body. Many patients prefer to buy valaciclovir over aciclovir because valaciclovir is easier for the body to absorb, effectively delivering more medication.
It's important to complete treatment with valaciclovir even if symptoms improve or disappear. Discontinuing treatment too soon contributes to making viruses resistant to treatment.
This product is also available under the brand name
Valtrex.
Buy Valaciclovir to Stop Outbreaks Before They Begin:
Though patients most frequently buy valaciclovir to treat genital herpes, the medication is actually effective against a number of viruses:
- Herpes simplex virus type I
- Herpes simplex virus type II
- Herpes labialis (chicken pox)
- Varicella zoster virus (shingles)
- Epstein-Barr virus
- Cytomegalovirus (after an organ transplant)
The medication works by attacking an enzyme needed by the viruses to replicate and spread. Unable to thrive, the virus is more easily defeated by the immune system. This provides several benefits to patients, depending on the condition being treated:
- Prevents an outbreak from starting
- Reduces the severity of symptoms
- Reduces the duration of an outbreak
- Reduces the frequency of outbreaks
While valaciclovir is effective at treating symptoms of viral outbreaks, it is not a cure. It may inhibit spread of herpes virus to others during sexual contact, but
does not eliminate the possibility.
How to Administer Valaciclovir:
This medication comes in tablet form. Tablets should not be split or crushed. If nausea occurs after taking a tablet, a snack or light meal may help.
Dosage strength and treatment length depend on the condition being treated. For average, healthy adults treatment is fairly straightforward:
- Treating Shingles - 1000 mg 3 times a day for 7 days. Treatment should begin within 3 days of symptoms starting.
- Treating herpes - 1000 mg a day for 5 days. Treatment should begin at the earliest signs of an outbreak, ideally within 72 hours.
- Preventing or reducing frequency of recurrent herpes outbreaks - 500 mg a day for 6 to 12 months, at which time effectiveness of treatment should be evaluated.
- Preventing cytomegalovirus - 2000 mg 4 times a day for 3 months (90 days). Treatment should begin immediately after an organ transplant
- Treating Epstein-Barr Virus: Dosage strength varies by individual; usually between 500 mg to 1500 mg a day, but in some cases as high as 3000 mg. It may take several months of treatment before improvements are noticable.
Parents should not buy valaciclovir to treat chicken pox in young children without physician instructions.
In most situations treatment should start as soon as symptoms are noticed. For this reason many patients buy valaciclovir ahead of time so it's on hand when needed.
Warnings & Adverse Reactions:
Most patients handle valaciclovir well with very few or no side effects. Some precautions should be taken, however, to ensure treatment goes well:
- Patients with liver or kidney disease should discuss risks with a doctor before use.
- Drink plenty of fluids while taking valaciclovir to prevent dehydration.
- Women who are pregnant or nursing should not buy valaciclovir without explicit doctor instruction.
- There is a chance valaciclovir will interact with other drugs or vitamins. Check with a pharmacist or doctor before mixing medications.
- A few patients become extremely sensitive to sunlight and tanning beds during treatment, and may need to avoid exposure.
Most side effects are mild, including headache, stomach upset, fatigue, and dizziness.
