Generic Valtrex Uses, Interactions, Warnings

Generic Valtrex (valacyclovir) is an antiviral drug. It slows the growth and spread of the herpes virus to help the body fight the infection. Generic Valtrex is used to treat infections caused by herpes viruses, including genital herpes, cold sores, and shingles (herpes zoster) in adults. Generic Valtrex is used to treat cold sores in children who are at least 12 years old, or chickenpox in children who are at least 2 years old. Generic Valtrex will not cure herpes and will not prevent you from spreading the virus to other people. However, this medicine can lessen the symptoms of an infection. Generic Valtrex may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Generic Valtrex (Valacyclovir) is also a prescription antiviral medication also indicated in the treatment of HSV and VZV. More simply put, it is considered the prodrug of acyclovir. First-pass metabolism removes most of the acyclovir from circulation, and this is why the oral bioavailability is so low for acyclovir. In contrast, first-pass metabolism converts Generic Valtrex to acyclovir which is then available to the body. The oral bioavailability when taking acyclovir is only 10-20%, while the oral bioavailability of Generic Valtrex is as high as 54%. The process of first-pass metabolism also creates differences in how often these drugs must be dosed. Acyclovir must be dosed three to five times daily depending on the indication, and Generic Valtrex is typically once or twice daily depending on the indication. Generic Valtrex is only available in oral tablets in 500 mg and 1,000 mg strengths.

Working

Herpes viruses are basically just DNA wrapped in a protein coating. In order for the virus to be able to multiply, it needs to first replicate its DNA. Generic Valtrex acts through multiple mechanisms to prevent the replication of herpes DNA. It is active against HSV-1, HSV-2, VZV, and to a lesser extent other herpes viruses, like CMV. When viral DNA is prevented from replicating, the virus cannot multiply and infect uninfected cells. This is how Generic Valtrex works:

Aborts (stops) or shortens outbreaks of genital herpes, oral herpes, and shingles

Prevents outbreaks of genital and oral herpes

Decreases the risk of viral transmission to the uninfected partner
