Full Prescribing Info

Overdosage

There is limited data available on overdosage with Valacyclovir. However patients have ingested single overdoses of up to 20 g of acyclovir, which is only partially absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, usually without toxic effects. Accidental, repeated overdoses of oral acyclovir over several days have been associated with gastrointestinal effects (such as nausea and vomiting) and neurological effects (headache and confusion). Overdosage of intravenous acyclovir has resulted in elevations of serum creatinine and subsequent renal failure. Neurological effects including confusion, hallucinations, agitation, seizures and coma have been described in association with intravenous overdosage.
