Hey all. I am a 32 year old woman diagnosed a couple years ago with mild Graves disease. My condition is mild and only needs meds once in a while. I was just put on a year long course of Methimizole a few months ago. I have also battled Shingles in the last year. Once when my 14 month old was 1 month old and now again currently. My question is have any of you heard of any adverse reactions with Methimizole and Valtrex? I was put on Valtrex last week for the shingles and have been absolutely wiped out since then. My shingles outbreak this time is very mild, to the point of I just felt the starting pain of sores, but have not gotten any. Thanks

Hi i_kodiak,


I don't know if there would be any interaction between those meds but you could call your pharmacist and see what he/she says.

HI,


I was on Methimazole for a year also but I did not have shingles.
