Question on Valtrex
Ok, my wife is 8 1/2 months pregnant and currently is not having an outbreak of herpes (we were one of the unfortunate few that were able to spread oral herpes to the genitals). The doctor is insinuating that she should start taking Valtrex to prevent (to the extent possible) an outbreak while she delivers. However, she (the doctor) admits that there are no studies that show the potential risk to the development of the child should she start taking the medication in the remaining month of her pregnancy. Has anyone out there run across this, as she is starting to freak out about what to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
