"I am 5 weeks pregnant and I stopped taking my Valtrex (for genital herpes) just in case for the past week. I was taking it continuously. Can I start taking it again?"

Yes, it is generally safe to continue taking Valtrex (genital) during pregnancy as it is well-tolerated. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen. It is rare to stop taking the medication during pregnancy, as the risk of a relapse is higher due to a weakened immune system. It is best to follow the advice of your healthcare provider.
