Common questions
- Is Valacyclovir hydrochloride in shortage right now?

- Who makes Valacyclovir hydrochloride?
- 37 companies have marketed Valacyclovir hydrochloride in the last 30 days, according to the FDA NDC Directory. Every manufacturer and package is listed on this page.
- What does Valacyclovir hydrochloride cost?
- The typical pharmacy pays about $0.3173 per unit, based on the most recent CMS NADAC survey of actual acquisition costs. That is what the pharmacy pays for the drug itself — not the cash price, and not what an insurer is billed.
