I know this stuff very well I watched my best friends life change because of herpes. Valtrex causes you to have less breakouts but it does not protect you from spreading it. he has only had 2 breakouts in 5yrs and a number of girlfriends who never got it from him (he was upfront) wear condoms and avoid sex while on outbreaks Valtrex and other similar antiviral medications should have a high rate of effectiveness in preventing herpes recurrences, and in preventing transmission assuming there is not a current active outbreak of herpes.

Valtrex is an antiviral drug used in the management of herpes simplex, herpes zoster (shingles), and herpes B. Brand name Valtrex has been available since 1995 in the U.S and as a generic drug since 2009.
it will clear up the symptoms but will not cure it. Valtrex just makes herpes more comfortable.
yes. you can. i was recently prescribed Valtrex and Vicodin by the same doctor to help with a painful herpes outbreak.
Valtrex (valcyclovir) belongs to a group of drugs used as antiviral agents in the treatment of herpes infections (cold sores, genital herpes).
Valtrex is right for Herpes infections. But i need more info. Example have you had pustules (small acne) or burning during urination? Please give more information.
No, Valtrex is used for Herpes, which is a completely different condition. It will not help a yeast infection. Go to your doctor and get flucanozole, or to your local drug store and get Monostat.
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.
Well, Josh Coppin of Moana...it seems you've announced to everyone that you have herpes, so I suggest everyone avoid sexual relations with you and that you go to your doctor for some Valtrex.
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.
If it's an antibbiotic then that won't work for herpes. For genital herpes the best way to treat it is with with antiviral medications like valtrex, famvir or acyclovir. If it's on your mouth then you can apply over the counter cold sore creams to treat it.
