VALTREX
Valacyclovir HCI WHAT IS VALTREX AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
VALTREX® is the only once-a-day prescription medication proven to suppress
future genital herpes outbreaks. While there is no cure for genital herpes, VALTREX works by disrupting the process by which the herpes virus reproduces itself and spreads to other cells in the body.
HOW EFFECTIVE IS VALTREX?
Over 1,400 patients participated in a clinical study of suppressive therapy for genital herpes in which VALTREX was proven effective in suppressing genital herpes outbreaks. The
findings were as follows:
- Over half of the patients (55%) who experienced a high frequency of outbreaks (6 or more per year) did not have a single outbreak for 6 months while taking a 1000 mg VALTREX Caplet once a day.
- Only 7% of those taking placebo (sugar pill) avoided an outbreak in 6 months.
- By the end of 12 months, one-third of the patients taking VALTREX still had not had a single outbreak compared to only 4% of those taking placebo (sugar pill).
- Patients with 9 or fewer outbreaks showed comparable results with VALTREX 500 mg once daily.
There are no data on the safety or effectiveness of suppressive therapy over more than 1 year's duration.
In studies with VALTREX the most commonly reported side effects were headache, nausea and
abdominal pain.
No drug has been proven to prevent the spread of herpes infection to others.
VALTREX is intended for adults with normal immune systems. If your immune system is not normal because of
advanced HIV disease or bone marrow or kidney transplant, make sure your doctor knows this to avoid a potentially serious complication. Buy Valtrex Online Without Prescription |
