Acyclovir & Valtex
My girlfriend was just given a prescription for Valtrex, however, even with insurance it is $75 a month. So, her doctor gave her another option in acyclovir, which was only $15 and had to be taken twice a day as opposed to one a day with the valtrex. Is there any real significant benefit to taking the Valtrex that would warrant paying the additional costs? Please let me know, so we can switch if necessary. Thanks
She might be thinking of atorvastatin. With some of the statin drugs like Lipitor, you can't use grapefruit juice.
Hi Grace,
Thanks for the link to your blog post, it was very informative and helpful as usual! My girlfriend is concerned about taking her meds in the AM with grapefruit juice. Would you happen to know if it is okay to have acidic juices with ACYCLOVIR? She was told that they may interfere with their effectiveness...... Thanks
