Generic Valtrex (Valacyclovir 500 mg) guide:

What is the preparation sold as Generic Valtrex?

Valtrex is nothing besides a registered trade name for the preparation officially named Valacyclovir. Valacyclovir is an antiviral agent used for the therapy and prophylaxis of various forms of herpes. Worldwide it is accessible under a variety of trademarks though you can easily find it if you ask any pharmacist for Generic Valtrex, although it is not an official or registered name. The brand name plus the word generic is a common term introduced by the World Health Organization to help people find cheaper analogs of the branded medicines they need. In fact, it would be more correct to call these medicines generics of Valacyclovir but it is easier for people to remember the short brand name than the longer names of the active substances.

In short, Generic Valtrex is the same Valtrex simply made by another pharmaceutical company and marketed under a different trade name.

Why people prefer generics? Are generics as effective as the brand medicines?

The reason more and more people every year opt for generics instead of the branded medicines is the lower price. The low price of generics isn’t caused by the inferiority of the medicine. The manufacturers of generics find ways to save on the development and research, production, and marketing without compromising the quality of the preparation. In fact, they do not invest money in the research because they utilize the formula of the branded preparation. As for the lower production costs, they usually place their facilities in the countries where the production, in general, is less expensive. Generic drug makers also do not advertise or promote their drugs as people can easily find them even without it when they look for the cheaper version of the medicine their doctor prescribed simply asking a pharmacist to give them generic instead of the branded preparation.
You can without any worries buy Generic Valtrex if you need a medication based on Valacyclovir for the therapy of herpes. The medications with the active agent Valacyclovir indicated on the package are all thoroughly checked and tested before they are available at the drugstores. However, if you choose to purchase the medication from an online pharmacy, we recommend you to check the reputation of the pharmacy before you place your order. Rxshop offers you a possibility to see other customers’ reviews. You can also find information about our service on other websites.

When to buy Valacyclovir?

You can buy Valtrex or its generic if you are certain that the skin or genital inflammation that you have is caused by the herpes virus. The medication is prescribed for shingles, infections of skin and mucosa caused by herpes, genital herpes, and prophylaxis of herpes simplex outbreaks.
You should understand that there are different diseases that can have similar symptoms to herpes. For instance, itching and burning sensation in the genitals even accompanied with the typical rash isn’t always the sign of herpes. There are other sexually transmitted diseases that have the same symptoms. Besides, the same symptoms can occur as an allergic reaction to certain products, medications, or even fabric from which underwear is made. Therefore, before you buy Valacyclovir, make sure to go to a doctor to get a proper diagnosis.

Whom the medication is contraindicated?

The preparation is contraindicated in hypersensitivity to the preparation and acyclovir, bone marrow transplant, and kidney transplant.
The medication also must be cautiously used in any renal function violation, clinically expressed forms of HIV infection, and in children under 12 years of age (safety and efficacy not determined).

Can the medicine be used during gestation and lactation?

There is no sufficient data on the safety of the medication use in pregnant women. Therefore, the medication can be used during pregnancy only if the expected benefit to the mother outweighs the risk to the baby.
The drug penetrates into the breast milk, though the concentration of the preparation that the baby receives is insignificant. Therefore, Valacyclovir can be used in breastfeeding women if the benefit outweighs the risks. Alternatively, a woman can stop breastfeeding for the therapy duration and then resume after the medication is washed out of the body to minimize the baby’s exposure to the preparation.

How should be the preparation used?

If you buy Generic Valacyclovir for shingles, the advised dosage is 1000 mg or one gram taken 3 times a day for seven days. The infections caused by the herpes simplex are treated with 500 mg taken two times a day. The treatment of recurring infection should be continued for 3 or 5 days. In the first time occurring of infection, especially if it’s severe, the course duration is from five to 10 days. The treatment must be started at the very beginning of the symptoms occurrence. For the therapy of the recurring infection, it is preferable to start taking the medication during the prodromal period or immediately after the appearance of the first symptoms.
The medication can be also used for lip herpes. The effective dosage is 2000 mg or two grams taken 2 times a day for one day. The second dose must be taken in 12 hours after the first one. Further use of the medication is pointless in this form of herpes. The treatment must be started at the first symptoms such as the sensation of tingling, itching or burning of the lips.

To suppress the infection and minimize the number of relapses, the dosages are the following:
- People with normal immunity should take 500 mg once a day;
- People with immunodeficiency (HIV or AIDS) should take 500 mg two times a day.

To prevent the infection transfer to the sexual partner, people who have 9 or fewer outbreaks within a year should take 500 mg once a day.
For the prophylaxis of cytomegalovirus, the dosage is 2000 mg taken four times a day. The therapy must be started right away or as soon as possible after the transplant. In renal failure, the dosages must be decreased in accordance with the creatinine clearance. The length of the therapy course is 90 days and can be extended for the patients with high risk level.

What adverse reactions can Valacyclovir cause?

The most wide spread adverse reactions that the medication use can cause are nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, abdominal pain, and others. Also, allergic reactions may occur such as rash, skin itching, swelling, and others. In the occurrence of any allergic reaction the use of the medication must be stopped.

Overdose signs and treatment

In case of overdose with the drug, there is a high risk of renal failure occurrence. The other manifestations are neurological symptoms such as confusion, hallucinations, excessive excitation, loss of consciousness, and others. It can be also accompanied with nausea and vomiting.  The highest risk for the dangerous overdose is in people with renal insufficiency and elderly patients who need to take reduced dosages.
If you overdosed, you must seek emergency help as doctors need to assess your condition and perform hemodialysis to wash the preparation from your body.

Interactions with other medications

Before you order Valtrex, you must consult your doctor who knows your health history and the medications you take whether the drug is compatible with your regular preparations.
People who receive big dosages of the medication (from 4 mg a day and above), should carefully use any medications along Generic Valtrex which have the same excretion ways as it can lead to the increase of the level of one of the medications in the blood plasma.

In combined use with Mycophenolate Mofetil (immunosuppressant medication used after the organs transplant), the level of Valacyclovir in the blood increases.
It is also important to exert caution in the use of Valacyclovir with any medications that influence the kidney function, for instance, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, and others.
