Valtrex (valaciclovir) is an antiviral drug. It prevents viral replication by interfering with the enzyme's ability to break down valacyclovir, a nucleoside analogue. This process leads to the resolution of the infection. The drug's use for this purpose is not limited to viral infections. The drug's efficacy is supported by numerous animal studies. In humans, the drug's effectiveness is primarily due to its ability to inhibit the viral replication process, in which case, valacyclovir is converted by a virus to acyclovir. This conversion ultimately leads to the treatment of genital herpes and shingles. The efficacy of valacyclovir for treating herpes is dependent on the dosage and duration of treatment. However, some studies have shown its effectiveness in some patients with moderate or severe herpes infections. The drug is also effective for recurrent infections. When valacyclovir is used for recurrent infections, the duration of treatment is shorter, and the patient's recovery time is reduced.
Valtrex (valaciclovir) is used to treat genital herpes and shingles caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). It is also effective for the treatment of herpes zoster (shingles). It works by reducing the viral replication processes, by inhibiting viral DNA synthesis and preventing the virus from spreading. This antiviral effect is effective against the herpes simplex virus, and may provide relief from pain and discomfort associated with the disease.
Valaciclovir targets viral DNA replication via binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit of the herpes simplex virus. The binding of acyclovir to the subunit allows the enzyme valacyclovir to directly inhibit the replication of the virus. This prevents the virus from multiplying, which in turn prevents the virus from spreading.
The most common side effects of valacyclovir are headache, nausea, and skin rash. Less commonly, some people may experience severe allergic reactions, including:
Other side effects can include:
If any of these symptoms occur or if the patient has a serious allergic reaction, seek medical help immediately.
The most common use of valaciclovir is to treat infections caused by HSV-1 or HSV-2, and can be effective for the first few months. However, if the infection is severe or life-threatening, valaciclovir may be prescribed for another purpose, such as preventing herpes.
It is important to inform your doctor if you are taking any drugs to prevent adverse effects or interactions with valaciclovir.
The U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned that valaciclovir may have potential interactions with other medications. These interactions include:
In addition, there are reports of possible drug interactions between the medications. The following drugs, substances that can interact with valaciclovir, should not be used for this purpose.
