Herpes is no fun… keep it tame with Valacyclovir |
Renown Rx drugs are filled from US pharmacies, so you are assured that they have met all FDA regulations for proper handling and honest ingredients. Plus, as a generic, our valacyclovir saves you up to 90% over the branded product.
Valacyclovir does help with pain by healing the sores the virus cause. It is not an analgesic in itself. Your pharmacist may recommend that you not use NSAIDs such as ibuprofen and aspirin at the same time because of possible impact on your kidneys. If you fee the need, use the Patient Portal for advice. There are no known interactions between acetaminophen (Tylenol) and valacyclovir, but again, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Valacyclovir is an anti-viral, not an antibiotic (a medicine that combats bacteria).
Antivirals like valacyclovir work two ways. As they kill off viruses, they help you get over your current infection and can make it much shorter than it would be if you waited for your own immune system to work alone.
Also, the first time you contract a virus, you do not have any antibodies ready to fight for you. That’s why Valacyclovir is so helpful at relieving an initial infection. But even later, after you have antibodies, this helps control the virus faster and more surely.
In the case of herpes simplex Type 1 and Type 2 the virus never completely goes away. So it is wise to have an antiviral on hand to make any recurring outbreaks shorter and less severe and to prevent spreading.
Yes, that potential exists for all drugs. Your intake questionnaire asks you to list all your medical conditions and all the drugs and supplements you take. You can also use your Patient Portal to get in touch with us if you notice anything that concerns you.
Yes. Be very certain that in you tell us about all your medications and their doses. That includes supplements, over the counter drugs (like antacids or aspirin) and vitamins.
Genital Herpes Treatment & Care |
Absolutely. Valtrex is one of the most trusted and effective treatments for herpes. Valacyclovir is the generic formula. Same chemistry, same results. But at a far lower price from Renown Rx.
No. Herpes is a virus that persists. Valacyclovir helps you keep it under control. It reduces symptoms, makes outbreaks shorter, and prevents the spread of sores in your own body. It does not make it safe for you to have unguarded sex or intimate affection because there is still risk of passing the virus to another person.
You probably won’t want to do that because herpes outbreaks are so annoying, if not painful. But if you do miss a pill, take it as soon as you remember. If you completely forget, however, dt do not double up when it’s time for your next dose; simply proceed from there.
No. Only a physical barrier such as a condom can block the spread of herpes or STD’s during intercourse. Oral contact, in particular kissing, is not advisable when you have an active outbreak because the virus is spread by skin-to-skin contact or through saliva. However, taking valacyclovir daily does reduce the chances of spreading your infection by about 50%.
