Valtrex is the only once-a-day prescription
medication proven to suppress future genital
herpes outbreaks. Valtrex works by disrupting
the process by which the herpes virus
reproduces itself and spreads to other
cells in the body. There is no cure for
genital herpes, and no drug has been proven
to prevent the spread of herpes to others.
Use Valtrex to suppress herpes outbreaks
or to treat them when they occur.
- Just one caplet once a day effectively
suppresses outbreaks, and for some
people, may suppress them altogether
for up to a year.* The recommended
dosage for suppressive therapy is
1 g, once a day. In patients with
a history of nine or fewer outbreaks
per year an alternative dose is 500mg,
once a day.
- Just 500 mg twice a day for 3 days
speeds healing and reduces the duration
of pain of a recurrent outbreak.†
The most common side effects are headache,
nausea and abdominal pain. Valtrex is
intended for adults with normal immune
systems. If your immune system is not
normal because of advanced HIV disease
or bone marrow or kidney transplant, make
sure your doctor knows this to avoid a
potentially serious complication.
*In clinical trials, one-third (34%) of
patients had no outbreaks for an entire
year compared with 4% for sugar pill.
No data is available for suppressive treatment
beyond 1 year.
† Median time to cessation of pain is
3 days. Median time to lesion healing
is 4.5 days.
