What is Valtrex?

Valtrex and the generic alternative Valacyclovir is an antiviral drug which is used to treat infections caused by herpes virus such as genital herpes, cold sores and shingles. Valacyclovir slows the growth and spread of herpes which helps the body to fight the infection. However, these viruses will continue to live in the body between outbreaks. Valtrex decreases the severity and length of outbreaks but will not cure herpes or prevent you from spreading the infection to others. This medication may also be used to treat chickenpox in children and cold sores in those over 12.
