Drug can significantly reduce symptoms and possibly prevent the attack. In terms of side effects, Valacyclovir can cause headaches, nausea, and abdominal pain.Valacyclovir is available as a daily preventative treatment or as something you take as needed.Here’s how the dosage and pricing work out:DoseMonthly priceFor three outbreaks (as needed)1,000mg$14For six outbreaks (as needed)1,000mg$20Preventative treatment low dose500mg$29Preventative treatment high dose1,000mg$48Hims also offers valacyclovir, with nearly identical pricing for as-needed treatment but more expensive pricing for preventative treatment, even if you’re willing to subscribe at a semi-annual billing rate.
