- As for today, Valtrex is only sold in the form of film-coated tablets.
- Each original Valtrex tablet contains 250 mg, 500 mg or 1000 mg of the active pharmaceutical ingredient Valaciclovir.

Valtrex helps to quickly get rid of herpes and reduce the risk of its reappearance. The action mechanism of Valtrex lies in reducing the DNA synthesis of the virus, thereby inhibiting its ability to reproduce or spread.
To let Valtrex exert a maximum antiviral effect and help you quickly get rid of herpes follow the recommendations for its use. Daily doses of Valtrex may vary, depending on the type and intensity of the viral disease:
- For the treatment of herpes simplex – 4000 mg, divided into two intakes.
- To prevent recurrence of herpesvirus infection – 1000 mg of Valtrex, for three days.
- For the treatment of genital herpes in adults – 1000 mg twice a day, for 10 days.

An adequate daily dose of Valtrex for the treatment of varicella in children aged 2 to 18 years is 60 mg/kg, divided into three uses. Children are not recommended to take more than 1000 mg of Valtrex per day.
To ease the administration of Valterx for children, parents can prepare an oral suspension on their own. To do this, grind several Valtrex tablets, and mix them with a suspension structured vehicle (SSV).

Doloris W. Hamilton –
It’s always better to prevent, instead of curing a disease. I was lucky to be put by my doctor on the preventive lifelong treatment for herpes with 1 Valtrex tablet. Never had an outburst since I started it, compared to once every 1-3 months before. Lifesaver for me.
Deborah Robertson –
For me, the main thing is to catch the very beginning of the herpes outburst on my lip and I immediately take Valtrex, which stops it on its way. If I fail to identify or catch it from the start, and it does manifest, even 1 g of Valtrex provides a huge relief and improvement. Recommend it to everyone who keeps fighting with cold sores through their life.
