Valaciclovir-induced neurotoxicity diagnosis is underreported.Accessible and frequent therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of valacyclovir is recommended.Interactions between valaciclovir and ciclosporin and/or mycophenolic acid, in particular in elderly patients with impaired kidney function, need a follow-up during hospitalization.
