A member asked:
Could valtrex be the reason that i spot sometimes between periods and bleed during intercourse? my obgyn didn't know why i bleed since i'm healthy.

Not valtrex: Valacyclovir doesn't cause vaginal bleeding. Bleeding after sex often means a problem with the cervix, especially cervicitis. STDs can do this, so make sure you were tested for gonorrhea, chlamydia, and trichomons (with the trich DNA test, not just the older microscopic test). HPV problems can do it too, but many cases are unexplained. Continue to work with your doctor on it. Good luck!

Possible: Valcyclovir is hepatically metabolized to active acyclovir in the liver. This could interfere with the Loryna. However, when I do a pharmacy interaction it does not indicate there is and interaction. I would recheck with gyn if symptoms persist.
