Reply To: Concerned about Valtrex affecting Hep C test results

Thank you for the reply!
I have talked to my doctor about being vaccinated for hep B. I am 35 years old
I don’t know the exact results of my hep b except that it was negative. I was tested for Hep B Surface Ag and Hep B Surface Ab.

How long does it take for Valtrex to be out of your system if taking 500mg once a day? I’ve read that it takes ten days for Valtrex to get into your system. Does it take ten days to be out of your system then?

Is 500 mg Valtrex once a day a typical daily suppressive dose?

I feel reassured with your answer that Valtrex has no impact on hep b or c testing, but would you mind telling me why it has no effect?
