Zeltrex
(Valacyclovir)
- What Is It?
Valacyclovir is used to treat cold
sores (herpes labialis) and shingles (herpes zoster). It is also used to
treat genital herpes in patients with normal immune systems. Valacyclovir
can also be used to control genital herpes outbreaks in all patients,
including those with HIV.
How
Does Valtrex Work?
This is also known as suppressive therapy. This
medication helps control symptoms, but does not cure the disease.
Valacyclovir belongs to a class of medications known as antivirals. If you
are taking valacyclovir for treatment of genital herpes, it is important to
follow safe sex practices to lower the chance of giving herpes to your
partner, even if there are no symptoms present.
