A member asked:
Is it safe to have a moderate amount of alcohol while taking valacyclovir? thank you.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO!: As a general rule, do NOT drink alcohol while taking medications (either Rx or OTC). You must ensure you are drinking adequate amounts of water while taking valacyclovir as this drug is metabolized by your kidneys. Please follow-up with the medical provider who provided you with the Rx for valacyclovir for further instructions.

A valcyclovir question: I see that alcohol is contraindicated with it. Is that because of effects on the liver or a reduced effectiveness in preventing outbreaks? Would one margarita every now and then hurt?
