To minimize dizziness and lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a sitting or lying position
Take 30 min prior to chemotherapy or anesthesia.

45

46
Q

Dosage forms of valacyclovir

A

500 mg, 1000? mg

47
Q

Average daily dosages of valacyclovir

A

1g 2-3 times a day

48
Q

Common indications of valacyclovir

A

Herpes

HIV

49
Q

MOA of valacyclovir

A

Valacyclovir is rapidly and nearly completely converted to acyclovir by intestinal and hepatic metabolism. Acyclovir is converted to acyclovir monophosphate by virus-specific thymidine kinase then further converted to acyclovir triphosphate by other cellular enzymes. Acyclovir triphosphate inhibits DNA synthesis and viral replication by competing with deoxyguanosine triphosphate for viral DNA polymerase and being incorporated into viral DNA.

50
Q

Common adverse effects of acyclovir

A

Nausea
Vomiting
HA
Abd pain

51
Q

Renal or hepatic dose adjustments for valacyclovir

A

Renal- dose adjustment based upon recommended dose

52
Q

Clinically sig drug interactions with valacyclovir

A

Probenecid

53
Q

Major counseling points for valacyclovir

A

Avoid sex while herpes sores are present. Use protective measures when engaging in sexual activities (male/ female condom)
Drug does not prevent transmission.
Drink plenty of fluids

54
Q

Monitoring parameters of valacyclovir

A

Decrease in S/sx of herpes/HIV
