The protocol
What is Valacyclovir.
Valacyclovir is an FDA-approved oral antiviral prodrug of acyclovir, used to treat outbreaks of herpes simplex (oral or genital) and, taken daily, to suppress recurrence and reduce the risk of transmission to a partner. Your clinician reviews your history to determine episodic or daily suppressive dosing.

The mechanism
How it works
N°01
Antiviral replication block
Once converted to acyclovir in the body, it inhibits the viral enzyme HSV needs to replicate its DNA, slowing the virus and shortening outbreaks.
N°02
Faster healing, less severity
Started at the first sign of an outbreak, it reduces the duration and severity of symptoms compared to no treatment.
N°03
Daily suppression, real reduction in risk
Taken once daily on an ongoing basis, it lowers the frequency of outbreaks and reduces the risk of transmitting the virus to a partner.
N°02 — Outcomes

Your protocol timeline
What you
can expect.
Phase 01
Day 1 (episodic use)
Starting Valacyclovir at the earliest sign of tingling or an outbreak shortens healing time and reduces symptom severity.
Phase 02
Weeks 1 → 4 (suppressive use)
With daily dosing, outbreak frequency typically begins to drop, and many women become effectively outbreak-free.
Phase 03
Ongoing
Continued daily use maintains suppression and lowers transmission risk; your clinician periodically reviews whether to continue.

FAQ
Questions,
answered.
Everything you need to know before starting your protocol. Still curious? Our care team is one message away.
01Episodic or daily dosing — which do I need?
If you have infrequent outbreaks, episodic dosing at the first sign of symptoms may be enough. If outbreaks are frequent, or you want to reduce transmission risk to a partner, daily suppressive dosing is typically recommended. Your clinician helps decide based on your history.
02How fast does it work?
Starting treatment at the very first symptoms (tingling, itching) gives the best results — most outbreaks are shorter and less severe when treated early.
03What are the possible side effects?
Valacyclovir is generally well tolerated. Mild headache, nausea or abdominal discomfort can occur. Your clinician reviews your kidney function history and other medications before prescribing.
04Is my order discreet?
Yes — every order ships free in plain, unmarked packaging.
