What is the cost of generic valtrex?
Well valtrex is generic now everywhere so it shouldn't be a money issue for most folks if they have decent prescription coverage with their insurance. Acyclovir is still way cheaper but if you have insurance coverage that makes generics low cost, valtrex is, as of this month, going to be WAY cheaper for you now :)
the technicality to the answer to your question is this - only valtrex has been studied for reduction in transmission to a partner. We'll never see studies with famvir or acyclovir either since both are generics and no money is to be made from doing the studies at this point. All 3 herpes antivirals reduce shedding of the virus about the same ( some info out there that famvir is less effective in folks who don't have obvious ob's that they are aware of - just wanted to put that out there for folks reading your post ).
So what do you do? My advice to you is - you've been on valtrex for awhile now. You are used to once daily dosing. Why change?
