As per my clinical experience, the Valtrex contains acyclovir used as an effective anti viral agent. There are many side effects like:
- GI upset with nausea, vomiting
- Headache
- Abdomen pain
- Symptoms of flu
- Altered liver enzymes level
- Others

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
