Is it safe to take Valtrax 2 weeks before Rhinoplasty?

Valtrex is safe to take before a rhinoplasty.  If you are developing a blister on your upper lip region, I would let your facial plastic surgeon know.  Additionally, you should let your doctor know when the medications you take changes.  I hope this helps.  

 It is safe to take valtrex prior to surgery but you should not have an active infection at the time of your surgical porcedure especially if this is in the oral area.  

Valtrex is safe to take before and is very beneficial for those who tend to break out in cold sores due to stress. As a rule let your surgeon know about any medication you are taking before a procedure.

Taking Valtrex is a good idea before and after a rhinoplasty to prevent a fever blister flareup. It is always best to check with your rhinoplasty surgeon for their recommendations

Yes it is safe and suggested to do so before during and after rhinoplasty if you have a tendency to have cold sores or herpetic breakouts. Best to you

Yes. If you take Valtrex for any reason and have an outbreak now (or if you take it daily) this is fine prior to rhinoplasty. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

For most patients, taking Valtrex 2 weeks befor a rhinoplasty show not be a problem. Discuss this and your history of cold sores with your plastic surgeon who should be certified by the American Board of
Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic
Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or a facial plastic surgeon (otolaryngologist) that you trust and are
comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon and follow all of her or his pre-operative and post-operative instructions.

Yes, it is. And if you have a propensity to herpes outbreaks you should continue to take the medicine thru the surgery and for at least one week after to prevent the problem.

Yes it is, but consult with your Plastic Surgeon regarding any medication you are taking.  Best wishes!
