Indications

Valcivir is an antiviral drug. It slows the growth and spread of the herpes virus so that the body can fight off the infection. Valcivir will not cure herpes, but it can lessen the symptoms of the infection. Valcivir is used to treat infections caused by herpes viruses in adults and children. Illnesses caused by herpes viruses include genital herpes, cold sores, shingles, and chickenpox. Valcivir is used to treat cold sores in children who are at least 12 years old, and to treat chickenpox in children who are at least 2 years old.

How To Take

Take Valcivir as it was prescribed by your doctor.

Precaution

Before taking Valcivir tell your doctor if you have HIV/AIDS, a weak immune system, kidney disease (or if you are on dialysis), or if you have had a kidney or bone marrow transplant. Valcivir can be harmful to the kidneys, and these effects are increased when it is used together with other medicines that can harm the kidneys. Tell your doctor about all other medications you are using. You may need dose adjustments or special tests when taking certain medications together with Valtrex. Treatment with Valcivir should be started as soon as possible after the first appearance of symptoms (such as tingling, burning, blisters). Herpes virus can be passed from an infected mother to her baby during childbirth. If you have genital herpes, it is very important to prevent herpes lesions during your pregnancy so that you do not have a genital lesion when your baby is born. Valcivir will not prevent the spread of genital herpes. Herpes infections are contagious and you can infect other people even while you are taking with Valcivir. Stop taking Valcivir and call your doctor right away if you have any signs of a serious side effect that can harm red blood cells, such as: fever, easy bruising or bleeding, red spots on the skin (not related to herpes or chickenpox), bloody diarrhea, vomiting, pale or yellowed skin, weakness, fainting, or urinating less than usual or not at all. Do not give Valtrex to a child unless it has been prescribed by a doctor.
