Q. For how long do I need to take Valasivir 500 Tablet?
The duration of Valasivir 500 Tablet treatment depends on the disease you are being treated for and whether your immune system is capable of fighting infections or not. For example, if you are taking it for shingles and your immune system works effectively, then you may need to take it for 7 days only.

Valasivir 500 Tablet is neither an antibiotic nor a corticosteroid. It is an antiviral medicine and acts against viruses.

Q. My age is 70 years and I have some kidney problem, can I take Valasivir 500 Tablet for shingles?
