Yes? I don’t understand why you’re being so judgemental considering this is between me and my doctor and Valtrex is an incredibly safe drug. Unless you’ve gotten cold sores like I have (try four at a time), I’m really not interested in what you have to say, which seems to just be a regurgitation of side effects, which I will remind you have to be reported from the experimental group REGARDLESS of whether or not they’re actually caused by the medication (because you really have no way of knowing). Furthermore, I don’t actually experience any of those side effects. The main concern is that Valtrex may cause reversible kidney damage, but they do labs every so often and my kidneys are totally fine.
- XalvinX 8y agoWhat did I say that you consider "judgemental"? I've had cold sores since I was a little kid...doesn't everyone get cold sores, you know, when they have a cold and such? Hardly what I would call a disease... Or, let me guess, I caught Herpes from when my gramma or aunt used to kiss me at age 1? Here's judgemental for you: You are being sold a bill of goods. Cold sores are something everyone gets and there is no need for spending money and risking over 100 possible side effects because of them. Oh, and it is between you and your doctor, why even bother talking about it in public and trying to promote this drug as something that is a "requirement" for people who are sexually active??? You sound like a big pharma shill, is the truth of the mattter.... oh, and even "incredibly safe drug" too???? Gee, how much they paying you for saying this stuff?
