VALTREX comes in 500 milligrams and 1-gram (1000mg) caplets. Its
shape is oblong and it's colored dark blue in both concentrations. The
500-milligram caplet is smaller in size than the one-gram caplet. The
caplets come with an easily recognizable engraving that states “VALTREX
500” and “VALTREX
1 gram”.
HOW DOES
VALTREX WORK?
VALTREX is preferentially taken up and converted into its active
form only by Herpes Simplex Virus infected cells. Thus,
VALTREX is much less toxic for normal uninfected cells.
VALTREX is selectively absorbed into cells infected with Herpes
Simplex Virus. Within the cell Herpes Simplex Virus coded enzymes
convert
VALTREX into its active form. This active form of the drug
inhibits the growth and replication of Herpes Simplex Virus by
interfering with viral DNA replication.
HOW EFFECTIVE IS
VALTREX FOR EPISODIC THERAPY?
In clinical trials,
VALTREX shortened the healing time of genital herpes sores by 33%
(four days v. six days) on average compared to placebo. As importantly,
the duration of pain associated with genital herpes was reduced by
25% (three days v. four days) in patients who received
VALTREX as opposed to placebo.
VALTREX also stopped viral shedding 50% (two days v. four days)
faster on average than placebo. Viral shedding is the process in which
virus is released from the skin during an outbreak of genital herpes.
HOW IS
VALTREX TAKEN FOR EPISODIC THERAPY?
- For the first episode of infection with
Herpes Simplex Virus
VALTREX is taken in a dosage of 1-gram twice daily for 10 days.
- For recurrent episodes of infection
with Herpes Simplex Virus
VALTREX is taken in a dosage of 500-milligrams twice daily for 3
days.
HOW EFFECTIVE IS
VALTREX FOR SUPPRESSIVE THERAPY?
- Over half of the patients (55%) who
experienced a high frequency of outbreaks (6 or more per year) did not
have a single outbreak for 6 months while taking a 1-gram
VALTREX Caplet once a day.
- Only 7% of those taking placebo (sugar
pill) avoided an outbreak in 6 months. By the end of 12 months, 33% of the
patients taking
VALTREX still had not had a single outbreak
- compared to only 4% of those taking
placebo (sugar pill).
Patients with nine or fewer outbreaks showed comparable results with
VALTREX 500 mg once daily.
HOW IS
VALTREX TAKEN FOR SUPPRESSIVE THERAPY?
- The recommended dosage of
VALTREX for chronic suppressive therapy of recurrent genital
herpes is 1-gram once daily.
- In patients with a history of 9 or
fewer recurrences per year, an alternative dosage is 500-milligrams once
daily.
IF I AM ON THERAPY, CAN I STILL SPREAD
HERPES TO OTHERS?
YES, no drug has been proven to prevent
the spread of herpes infection to other people. You or your partner
should always use condoms and avoid sexual contact during an outbreak.
