Common use
Valclovir is an antiviral drug which is used to treat certain herpes infections, including herpes zoster (the painful rash known as shingles), genital herpes, and herpes cold sores on the face and lips. Valclovir stops viral replication and combats the herpes virus, attacking it and slowing it down from replicating itself in the system, allowing the body to assist in the natural defense of the spread of this virus, ultimately limiting both the duration and frequency of outbreaks. Valclovir will not cure herpes; it just lessens the symptoms of the infection.
Dosage and direction
Consult with your doctor before using. Use no more than was prescribed. Take it orally with or without food every 8 hours (3 times a day) during one week. If you have genital herpes, take it twice daily for 5 days. For the treatment of cold sores, this drug is usually taken only for one day. For the best results, start treatment as soon as possible after your symptoms start.
Note: This instruction presented here is just for review. It’s very necessary to consult with your doctor before using. It helps you to get the best results.
Precautions
The drug should not be used by patients with immune system problems. If you have HIV infection or had a bone marrow or kidney transplantation, Valclovir may threaten your life. Valclovir, when taken in appropriate doses each day, can reduce the risk of passing on genital herpes to sexual partners. Use it in combination with safer sex practices for the best results. Valclovir should not be used during pregnancy, becoming pregnant, or lactating without a doctor’s advice. Do not use Valclovir before breastfeeding without a doctor’s advice.

I’ve been suffering from the herpes of the second type for more than 10 years. When I have herpes, I take 1000 mg of Valtrex twice a day. Or 4 pills of 500 mg each, and that is enough to stop the development of the infection. That is just excellent!!! I usually buy Valtrex 1000 mg. But when I have herpes virus, I avoid eating nuts, chocolate, coffee and alcohol…

For the prevention of herpes my doctor prescribed the dosage of 500 mg, but when I have herpes recurrence, I take 1000 mg pills. In general, the dosage depends on the kind of the herpes that you have. Valtrex is my favorite medicine, and it helps better than others.

As I know, Valtrex 500 mg is taken for the prevention of herpes. I suffered from recurrences, and I prefer to take a 1000 mg dosage, and my doctor prescribed. Now the situation is much better. Valtrex almost stopped the herpes infection.
