I have noticed a bit of bloating and gas but nothing I can't handle. Pills are huge so taking them with juice helps as well.

Got the medication as soon as diagnosed with shingles. Markedly reduced the pain within 24 hours and began to reduce the blistering and spread to other areas within about 48 hrs. Only side effect was tiredness and fatigue.

I had shingles and writhin 48 hrs started the medication and took it for 10 days religiously. I had discomfort with all the side effects but I had chickenpox so bad in my 20â??s that I wasnâ??t going to mess around. My main concern a month after stopping the medication is that I have ringing in my ears that seems to get worse instead of going away. Iâ??ll be seeing my Dr about this ... Show Full Comment

I had a large rash outbreak appear on right shoulder upper right chest and neck. I had redness and tingling days before but since its my first time I didnâ??t associate it with anything. Anyway on day one it didnâ??t hurt and I assume it was an allergy, day two redness went down but I reached for a Dr.; I was not able so see a Dr until day 3 and I started Valacyclovir 3x a day 7 days then. Pain and stiffness started for me on day 4 and got worst the next 3 days as the rash and blisters dried. No problems with the medication but I probably started too late for it to help.
