How to use your treatment

Your Ro-affiliated healthcare provider has prescribed 1,000 mg valacyclovir to prevent cold sore (oral herpes) outbreaks. Take one pill (1,000 mg) daily to reduce the frequency of outbreaks and reduce the chance of transmitting the virus to an uninfected partner. 

If you continue to experience cold sore outbreaks even when using your medication, reach out to your Ro-affiliated healthcare provider. They may be able to adjust your dose so it’s more effective. 

Below, we’ll cover who shouldn’t use this medication, potential interactions with your medication, potential side effects, as well as how to handle those side effects, what to do if you are not getting the results you expected  from your treatment, and the follow up plan for ongoing treatment. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your Ro-affiliated provider or to our Care team at [email protected]
