Re: Question of valtrex dosage?

[Guest guest]

The response time of the spray is easy. It's about 5 to 60 minutes. In 5

minutes you

typicallly feel it and by 60 minutes you are getting the optimum methylation

performance

(this is what I observe... some children it takes a couple days... but for the

most part I see

changes in minutes).

As far as Valtrex, we do not have a lot of experience yet with a 120 lb child.

I have had a

few people talk about it but not report back.

My son was 3 years old and about 33 lbs when he started and we gave him 250mg of

straight Valtrex (not compounded) three times a day. I understand the adult

dosage is

1000 mg three times a day. My guess would be something in between, but ask your

doctor what she/he thinks.

Let us know how it goes. Other people with children her age would be very

intersted.
