How will i know if i'm having a ghsv1 outbreak on daily valtrex (valacyclovir)? won't it get rid of or greatly lessen symptoms?

Herpes simplex: As a general rule valacyclovir usually modifies the frequency and severity of outbreaks of genital herpes, but this is not invariable and in some patients may not have any appreciable effect.

Valtrex (valacyclovir) helps: When taken appropriately, Valtrex (valacyclovir) will suppress symptomatic outbreak recurrences 70-80%, so you should be well covered. If further questions, please talk it over with your medical provider or local STD clinic. Hope that helps. Thanks.
