Treating Genital Herpes In Australia With Valtrex
When I was a pharmacy technician a couple years back, one of the most widely prescribed medications I noticed is Valtrex, or valacyclovir hydrochloride. In addition to therapy using Valtrex, it is recommended that patients use safer sex practices once they have gotten the virus. In Australia, Valtrex is available with a valid Australian prescription only; you can’t get it over-the-counter. You must must get a prescription from a doctor after your examination and diagnosis. Generic Valtrex is cheap and can be found at most pharmacies for less than $3 ASD per tablet.
Side effects
Side effects of Valtrex can vary in frequency and intensity, and not all people will experience them the same. Some have experienced dry eyes. One woman claims she wears contacts and they feel very uncomfortable while taking Valtrex. Other side, more common side effects include mild headache, some dizziness, tired feeling; fatigue, depression, vomiting, nausea, stomach pain, joint pain, cramps and other forms of pain during menstruation, skin rash, congested sinuses, or sometimes sore throat. Make sure to make your doctor aware of any side effects, especially depression, which can also be fought with the help of medications.
Mixtures to avoid
You need to be very careful about drug interactions, as some can be deadly. Valtrex may interact with lithium, methotrexate, pain or arthritis medicines, medicines used to treat ulcerative colitis, medicines used to prevent organ transplant rejection, IV antibiotics, antiviral medicines, or cancer medicines. Always keep all doctors up to date with what drugs you’re taking, and be sure to listen to your pharmacist when they describe drug interactions. Valtrex is generally not safe for pregnancy. Valtrex should only be used during pregnancy when the benefits to the mother are greater than the risks to the fetus, otherwise use is not necessary and dangerous. Breastfeeding safety while on Valtrex has not yet been proven. Methods other than breastfeeding should be considered if Valtrex is a necessity while your baby is of nursing age. Valtrex is safe to use every day, some people have used this drug every day for 10+ years.
Recurring outbreaks
For most initial outbreaks and cases of recurring herpes this medication takes effect very quickly and provides some level of relief in about two to three days. (72 hours) Although, some people who are taking Valtrex say that it may take a while to see an improvement. Generally, the sooner you take it after noticing symptoms, the faster the medicine will work and provide you relief. Valtrex does not prevent spreading the disease to other partners. Even when you don’t have an active outbreak, safe sex should still be practiced. You can have an outbreak on Valtrex, but this medicine will make symptoms more mild, and clear up more quickly. Avoid sexual contact during an outbreak and always use protection such as condoms; open sores can spread the virus. At one point, there was hope that Valtrex would, indeed, prevent the transmission of the virus, but that was quickly proven untrue.
How it’s prescribed and taken
Valtrex should be taken with or without food, and is usually prescribed 2 – 5 times a day or as directed by your doctor or OBGYN. Make sure to drink plenty of liquids while taking Valtrex, unless your doctor specifically tells you otherwise. For users of the liquid form of this medication, make sure to shake the bottle well before each dose! The medicine should be carefully measured in a medical measuring device, not a household spoon to reduce the risk of getting too much or too little of your dose and thus decreasing the effectiveness. This medication should be kept at even levels in your body; the levels need to be kept at a constant. Make sure you take this drug at evenly spaced intervals throughout the day. An alarm on your phone can help you remember what time to take it over the course of your day. Your doctor should be updated frequently on how you’re doing with Valtrex, and any symptoms, outbreaks, side-effects should be reported to him or her.
