Generic Valtrex is an antiviral drug frequently used to relieve the painful symptoms of the herpes viruses. Valtrex is also prescribed by doctors to treat other medical conditions that are not included in this article.
There are two types of herpes viruses: herpes type 1 which causes oral herpes, more commonly known as cold sores or fever blisters, and herpes type 2 which causes genital herpes. Shingles (also known as Herpes Zoster) and chicken pox are also caused by herpes viruses.
Symptoms of herpes infections are a tingling, itching or burning sensation on the body, or on the face, lips or mouth in the case of cold sores and shingles. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you should see your doctor as soon as possible because drugs like as Valtrex work most effectively when used as soon as symptoms appear.
Cold sores are by far the most common form of herpes, and it has been estimated that in the United States of America up to 90% of the population has been infected with the cold sore virus. Chicken pox is the most contagious form of herpes. Pregnant women, women who are breast-feeding, and people with immune system problems should stay away from anyone who has chicken pox.
Valtrex is often a doctor's first choice when it comes to prescribing a medication to relieve the very uncomfortable symptoms of herpes. Always use this medication as prescribed.
You can buy Valtrex at online pharmacy.
