So: 125 mg 2x a day then up to 250mg 2x a day. At least, that's what I would do. > > > Do I also use a natural antiviral as well..my dan did give me OLE > You can but I would only start one thing at a time. > > > Will there be a change in bowel movements? > Possibly. > > > > That's all I can think of..I don't know why I am so nervous but I am.any other advise? > Motrin helps with die off. > > > > > Thanks, > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Forgot to ask...doing 1/2 a dosage for a week and then moving up to full dosage should be fine? > > > > > OK so I am going to give Valtrex a shot..here is the plan we will start her on Difulcan on Thursday..wait 10 days and then start Valtrex..dosage my dan said to give is 250mg twice a day..my daughter is 35 pds > > > > > > I have a few questions...if anyone can give me some advise > > > Should I give Valtrex with meals? > > You don't have to but you can.
