How to use your treatment

Your Ro-affiliated healthcare provider has prescribed 1,000 mg valacyclovir to stop or shorten a genital herpes outbreak. Take one pill (1,000 mg) daily for five days at the first sign of symptoms but no longer than 24 hours after symptoms have begun to shorten the outbreak and reduce the chance of transmitting the virus to an uninfected partner. 

If you experience a lot of outbreaks, or if this treatment is not effective at reducing the length of your outbreaks, speak to your Ro-affiliated healthcare provider. They may be able to switch you to a daily dosing regimen that can be more effective at preventing outbreaks altogether. 

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]
