Valacyclovir Notes
Valaciclovir only stops the spread of the herpes virus and reduces some of the outward symptoms. It is not a cure for herpes.
To prevent being infected with genital herpes or to prevent spreading genital herpes once infected, it is essential to use an adequate barrier method during sexual intercourse, such as a latex condom.
While taking Valaciclovir, you may need regular medical or laboratory tests to chart your progress and check for side effects. Make sure you do not miss any of these appointments.
