Probably: Although there are no known adverse effects on your pregnancy taking Valtrex , you should ALWAYS check with your OB before taking any prescription or over the counter medication during pregnancy. It doesn't hurt to double check with your pharmacist too! As with anything, it is important to discuss risks vs benefits with your doctor.
