I have an attack of genital herpes. How many days should I take the antiviral Valacyclovir 500g (4 pills every 12 hours)?

Hello Ma'am,

The dosage is usually 7 to 10 days.

Good day,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist

Note, however, that Valtrex™ can sometimes be taken longer if the lesions are not completely healed (e.g., 14 days) and the dose is usually 1g per dose twice a day (so only 2 pills at a time, not 4).

Good day
