Q: Valtrex ( Side Effects)

I currently have an outbreak of oral herpes ( caused by hsv-1) so my doctor prescribed valtrex to me. I am a bit worried about taking it because it lists some harsh side effects, like dizziness and vomiting. To anyone who has had experience with valtrex before: did you have any side effects? If so, what were they and how common is it to get them? Please respond right away, as I should start the medication. Exclamation

All medicines have side effects... Each and every one... When you hear on t.V an advertissement for some sort of pill they always include the side effects... Not because you're going to get them.. But because the companies who make them have to. I work in a pharmacy so i've learned alot about meds in the past while... In fact side effects are usually very rare. However if you find yourself starting to have a side effect, then stop taking it, and return to your doctor..

My mother is on valtrex for shingles and she does not get any bad side effects. It, like every other drug, is going to be different for every one.
