Guest guest Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 It's easier to help you if you can give us the actual dosage. How many mg is 1 tsp? Cheryl~http://www.gryffins-tail.blogspot.com~@midian42~ i need suggestions on how to increase the valtrex.my son is so sensitive, the doc only started him on 2 tsp a day, but i had to cut it to one as he reacted negatively very quickly. at one tsp he was great! now i began to increase by 1.5 ml. looking for suggestions on how the increase should go/time frames for a kid like him. he had a bad morning so of course i am wondering if its the valtrex since its day 2 of the increase. hes only been on it 2 weeks. seens awesome gains as well already!!

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 The half life of valtrex is 2.5 hrs so that is why you are supposed to dose it 3 times per day. A child under 50 pounds gets 250mgs 3 times per day and a child over 50 pounds can get 500mgs 3 times per day. We had a lot of trouble with valtrex and bad behavior (lots of rashes too) even past the first 3 months. Once we added imunovir we have a much, much happier compliant child. The Imunovir seems to make him feel great!
