I don't see why not, but I don't see why you'd want to. It doesn't prevent herpes infection, just helps clear up outbreaks quickly. You'd be better off spending your money on condoms!

Can you take shingles vaccine after getting steroid injection?
I checked with my pharmacist and the answer is NO. I need to stop taking valtrex for 30 days and then get the shot. Valtrex kills the virus and since the vaccine has some live virus in it, the valtrex could compromise the point of getting the vaccine. That said, an incident or 2 of herpes is tolerable to the possibility of getting shingles. Shingles has a higher pain and inconvenience factor than a herpes break out. That is my humble opinion.

Does being on valtrex and having dental work cause a problem?
Valtrex is an antiviral medication commonly prescribed to treat and prevent outbreaks of herpes simplex virus infections, including oral herpes (HSV-1) and genital herpes (HSV-2). When undergoing dental work, it's generally safe to take Valtrex, but it's important to inform your dentist about all the medications you are currently taking, including Valtrex. While Valtrex itself does not typically cause any specific complications during dental procedures, it's essential to communicate with your dentist to ensure they are aware of your medical history and medications. This allows them to take any necessary precautions or make adjustments to your treatment plan if needed. There are a few factors to consider when taking Valtrex and undergoing dental work: Potential Weakening of the Immune System: In some cases, Valtrex may suppress the immune system. If you have a compromised immune system, it's important to inform your dentist, as certain dental procedures may require additional precautions or modifications. Interactions with Other Medications: Valtrex may interact with other medications, including those used during dental procedures. Inform your dentist about all the medications you are taking, including Valtrex, to ensure there are no potential adverse interactions. Oral Herpes Outbreaks: If you are taking Valtrex for oral herpes and have an active outbreak at the time of your dental appointment, it's important to inform your dentist. They may need to take additional precautions to prevent the spread of the virus during the procedure. By keeping your dentist informed about your medical history, medications, and any active infections, they can provide appropriate care and take necessary precautions to ensure your safety and comfort during dental work. Always follow the advice and recommendations of your healthcare professionals, including your dentist and prescribing physician, to ensure proper coordination of your medications and dental treatment.
