Dosage forms and strengths:
Valtrex (Valacyclovir Hydrochloride) tablets: 500 mg (unscored), 1 gram (partially scored).
Overdosage:
Caution should be exercised to prevent inadvertent overdose by valacyclovir pills. Precipitation of acyclovir in renal tubules may occur when the solubility (2.5 mg/mL) is exceeded in the intratubular fluid. In the event of acute renal failure and anuria, the patient may benefit from hemodialysis until renal function is restored.
Contraindications:
Hypersensitivity to valacyclovir (e.g., anaphylaxis), acyclovir, or any component of Valtrex pills.
Warnings and Precautions:
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura/hemolytic uremic syndrome (TTP/HUS): has occurred in patients with advanced HIV-1 disease and in allogenic bone marrow transplant and renal transplant patients receiving 8 grams per day of Valtrex in clinical trials. Discontinue treatment if clinical symptoms and laboratory findings consistent with TTP/HUS occur.
Acute renal failure: may occur in elderly patients (with or without reduced renal function), patients with underlying renal disease who receive higher-than-recommended doses of Valtrex for their level of renal function, patients who receive concomitant nephrotoxic drugs, or inadequately hydrated patients. Use with caution in elderly patients and reduce dosage in patients with renal impairment.
Central nervous system adverse reactions (e.g., agitation, hallucinations, confusion, and encephalopathy): may occur in both adult and pediatric patients (with or without reduced renal function) and in patients with underlying renal disease who receive higher-than-recommended doses of valacyclovir for their level of renal function. Elderly patients are more likely to have central nervous system adverse reactions. Use with caution in elderly patients and reduce dosage in patients with renal impairment.
Side effects, adverse reactions:
The most common adverse reactions reported in at least one indication by greater than 10% of adult subjects treated with Valtrex and more commonly than in subjects treated with placebo are headache, nausea, and abdominal pain.
The only adverse reaction occurring in greater than 10% of pediatricsubjects aged less than 18 years was headache.

Patient counseling information:
Importance of Adequate Hydration
Patients should be advised to maintain adequate hydration.
Missed Dose
Instruct patients that if they miss a dose of valacyclovir, to take it as soon as they remember. Advise patients not to double their next dose or take more than the prescribed dose.
Cold Sores (Herpes Labialis)
Patients should be advised to initiate treatment at the earliest symptom of a cold sore (e.g., tingling, itching, or burning). There are no data on the effectiveness of treatment initiated after the development of clinical signs of a cold sore (e.g., papule, vesicle, or ulcer). Patients should be instructed that treatment for cold sores should not exceed 1 day (2 doses) and that their doses should be taken about 12 hours apart. Patients should be informed that Valtrex is not a cure for cold sores.
Genital Herpes
Patients should be informed that Valtrex (Valacyclovir) is not a cure for genital herpes. Because genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease, patients should avoid contact with lesions or intercourse when lesions and/or symptoms are present to avoid infecting partners. Genital herpes is frequently transmitted in the absence of symptoms through asymptomatic viral shedding. Therefore, patients should be counseled to use safer sex practices in combination with suppressive therapy with VALTREX. Sex partners of infected persons should be advised that they might be infected even if they have no symptoms. Type-specific serologic testing of asymptomatic partners of persons with genital herpes can determine whether risk for HSV-2 acquisition exists.
Valtrex has not been shown to reduce transmission of sexually transmitted infections other than HSV-2.
If medical management of a genital herpes recurrence is indicated, patients should be advised to initiate therapy at the first sign or symptom of an episode.
There are no data on the effectiveness of treatment initiated more than 72 hours after the onset of signs and symptoms of a first episode of genital herpes or more than 24 hours after the onset of signs and symptoms of a recurrent episode. There are no data on the safety or effectiveness of chronic suppressive therapy of more than 1 year's duration in otherwise healthy patients.
There are no data on the safety or effectiveness of chronic suppressive therapy of more than 6 months' duration in HIV-1-infected patients.
Herpes Zoster
There are no data on treatment initiated more than 72 hours after onset of the zoster rash. Patients should be advised to initiate treatment as soon as possible after a diagnosis of herpes zoster.
Chickenpox
Patients should be advised to initiate treatment at the earliest sign or symptom of chickenpox.
