A member asked:
I have hsv-2 and i'm in daily valtrex (valacyclovir) therapy, can i use steroids (wistrol)? does it have any interaction with the disease or medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anabolic steroids: These are not likely to have interactions with valacyclovir or your hsv infection, but you should double check with your pharmacist who has access to up to date computer records of interactions. You should also strongly reconsider the reasons for taking these.
