Summary
Limited data are available on valaciclovir use in children and valaciclovir is not currently
approved for use in pediatrics. The marketed formulation of valaciclovir is not ideal for use
in pre-adolescent patients who may have trouble swallowing solid oral dosage forms. An
extemporaneous suspension formulation of valaciclovir has been developed to expedite the
provision of benefits to children similar to those from administration of valaciclovir solid
formulations in adults.
