Valtrex (valacyclovir) prescription available online

The side effects associated with taking Valtrex are typically mild. Most Valtrex side effects are associated with the gastrointestinal tract. Valtrex has some common side effects. They may include:

• Nausea

• Upset or pain in the stomach

• Headache

Other side effects, which are less common but might be more severe, could include:

• Damage To Red Blood Cells: In very rare cases, Valtrex may harm red blood cell production and health. Should the patient experience any of these signs, then it is essential that they immediately stop using Valtrex. The individual should also contact their healthcare provider directly. Some symptoms of this side effect include a weak and tired feeling, severe stomach pain, bloody diarrhea, and bleeding of the gums and nose. Some people may experience pale skin, develop a fever, and experience the development of red spots on their skin. Swelling also sometimes occurs in the feet and hands, as well as the face. 

• Allergic Reaction: It is also possible for the patient to experience an allergic reaction to the valacyclovir chemical that these drugs use, as well as other ingredients that the manufacturer uses in the formulation of the medication. In this case, the patient may experience hallucinations, speech difficulty, confusion, a feeling of being unsteady, and possibly experience a seizure. 

• Kidney Problems: Another serious side-effect that people should look out for is problems with their kidneys. If the medication affects the kidneys, it can cause problems with the renal system. This can lead to swollen feet and ankles. The patient will also feel tired and may experience shortness of breath. It is also possible for these kidney problems to cause problems with urination. This may include little to no liquid coming out during urination. Some patients complain about pain symptoms when they urinate. 

You should call your doctor if you notice any of these side effects or develop other new or concerning symptoms. Careful assessment is essential when using Valtrex in children under 12. The drug should also never be given to children with chickenpox if they are younger than two years old. 

Valtrex has more than eight drug interactions. Don’t change what you take without checking with your doctor or pharmacist. That includes other medications or supplements, as well as over-the-counter drugs.

It is important to tell your doctor about any other medication that you take when they prescribe Valtrex. This includes prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, and dietary supplements.

Talk to your doctor if you are breastfeeding or have experienced acute kidney failure. A medical history of kidney problems should also be discussed with your healthcare provider.

You should also check to see if your current medication may affect your kidneys. If this happens to be the case, you should make sure you talk with your doctor before starting the course of Valtrex. 

Ask your doctor if it is acceptable to consume alcohol while taking Valtrex.

Some research shows that regular alcohol consumption may harm the immune system. A strong immune system can greatly help to improve the recovery time and the treatment of your viral infection. If you decide to use alcohol with Valtrex, it makes it harder for the drug to treat the infection you have been diagnosed with.
