On Valtrex...what happens if I get an outbreak?
I've been recently diagnosed with genital herpes type 1 and am on Valtrex daily. I'm wondering: if i were to get an outbreak while on Valtrex, should I double my dose (which would be equivalent to the amount taken the first time I had an ob)? Do I just have to tough it out because I'm already on Valtrex? Or would it just not happen because I'm on the drug? - thanks in advance for your help -
I would ask your doctor. I know for me that if I have an outbreak while I am on Valtrex it helps it to clear up faster. I also have HSV1 in my genitals. I was told to just tuff it out unless the outbreak gets to the point I can not bare it any longer. Then at that point I call the doctor and she prescribs an onitment to help. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
