How to use it
When the symptoms first appear, Valtrex is to be used as it is stated in the prescription, not longer or in larger doses than prescribed. It can be taken with or without food, with large amounts of water in order to ensure the proper work of the patients’ kidneys. Taking the medicine in prescribed intervals is highly advised, as skipping a dose may cause the virus to become resistant to the antiviral drug. However, it the patient has skipped a dose, the next dose is to be taken as soon as the patient remembers. Valtrex should be used for the entire length of the prescribed period in order to ensure the infection is fully cleared, and not just the symptoms of the infection. Patients who are allergic to valacyclovir or acyclovir should not use this antiviral drug.
