Valtrex
(Valacyclovir)
Valtrex Information
Valtrex (Valacyclovir) is an antiviral medication that is used to treat infections caused by certain types of viruses that affect the skin known as shingles (herpes zoster). It is also used to treat cold sores and to treat and prevent recurrences of genital herpes. It may also be used to treat chickenpox in children who are over two years old. Valacyclovir works by affecting the way the virus reproduces and it stops the virus from multiplying and spreading to nearby healthy cells. Valtrex does not cure shingles, cold sores or genital herpes but it helps the sores to heal fast and it also relieves pain and discomfort. It also reduces the risk of spreading of the infection to others.
