Valtrex during pregnancy??

Question

8 months pregnant and feel a cold sore starting. Did anyone take Valtrex during pregnancy? It’s just the one day, two dose prescription.

Answer

I’m a pharmacist.  It’s category B so generally safe in pregnancy , especially just for a day or two of therapy. But always run by your OB to be certain they’re okay with it too.

Answer

I’m currently on this for an eye infection and it has a warning right on the bottle that says if pregnant or breastfeeding to talk to a doctor. So do that. Or a pharmacist.
