Overview

Only product, safety and handling information is published here. Anything beyond that is explained to you directly by your doctor or pharmacist as part of your consultation.

Directions for Use

Take Axcel Valacyclovir 500mg Tablet with or without food, and start treatment as soon as possible after symptoms begin (such as tingling before a cold sore appears) for the best effect. Drink plenty of fluids while taking this medicine to help maintain good kidney function, especially at higher doses.

Dosage

The dose and duration of Axcel Valacyclovir 500mg Tablet depend on the condition being treated – for example, shingles typically requires a higher dose over a longer course than a cold sore outbreak. Your doctor will select the dose, frequency, and duration appropriate for your specific infection, and may adjust it if you have reduced kidney function.
