I just started Valtrex...I have some questions?!
Question: I just started Valtrex!.!.!.I have some questions!?
So Im off in college n found out i had genital herpes back in april so i went to my school's clinic n i got acyclovir!.!. the first break finally went away for about a week n then my period came on so i think that triggered another outbreak but i was back at home at the time so n my prescription was off at college so i thought it would go away which it did at least i thought so about a week so anyway i got acyclovir a second time n its like i was still having an outbreak its like it never really cleared completely so i just called my doctor back at home n just asked could she send a prescription to the pharamacy of valtrex so its only 21 pills for 7 days 1 gram n what not so i thought valtrex was a daily thing!.!. does she just expect me to take it just so the outbreak will clear or does she expect me to ask for a refill after the 7 days!.!. they bottle doesnt say i have refills either so is valtrex like acyclovir only for time of outbreaks just stronger or another expensive prescriptionWww@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
I would assume that you he/she gave you the prescription to get rid of this particular OB!. Because it is a suppressive med, it can be used to prevent an OB or to help get rid of one!. I believe that a normal "daily" amount is 500 mg and you only take 1 g when you are having an OB!. So most likely, the prescription was just to clear out the OB you are currently having!.
if you get another one shortly, it may be worthwhile to stay on Valtrex at a suppressive level, particularly if you get involved with someone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
