no problem with NSAID or steroids

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

You haven't clarified what kind of drugs you're going to receive but if they're NSAIDs and/or steroids then there is no problem with valacyclovir.

If you'd like to be more specific about the drugs you're going to use, I'll be glad to comment on them.

Kind Regards!
