Abstract:

The dosage of acyclovir in milk after valacyclovir is less than 1% of a typical infant dosage and would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. No special precautions are required when using valacyclovir during breastfeeding. In one study, administration of valacyclovir to mothers with concurrent herpes simplex type 2 and HIV infections reduced breastmilk shedding of the HIV virus in breastmilk at 6 and 14 weeks postpartum, but not later.[1] In another study in HIV-positive mothers, valacyclovir did not reduced breastmilk shedding of cytomegalovirus (CMV) or infant CMV acquisition.[2]
