Guest guest Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Anyone using Valtrex on a young 2 year old or a 25lb child? If so can you share what lead to the decision and how the child is responding. Anyone know what age/weight is the appropriate age to start. Thanks, Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 2 and a half and 25 lbs. I'll let you know the exact dosage when I find it out. His viral titers were very high and so we're hoping this might be an effective treatment for him. I'll keep you posted! Good luck! Best, Annie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 I started my 2.7 year old on Valtrex when he was 2.4. He had a lot of viruses before he regressed at 18 months. He was always in the ER, and always had diarhea and rotavirus. So...after reading about Stan, we started him on Valtrex at 2.4. He is 38 lbs, and we started with 250 mg three times a day. He has made tremendous progress, and is well onto his way to recovery after only 3 months on Valtrex!atorsig <anniet1@...> wrote: >> Anyone using Valtrex on a young 2 year old or a 25lb child?
