Valtrex is an antiviral prescription drug for the treatment and prevention of genital herpes outbreaks. Genital herpes is highly contagious, and can infect both men and women who are sexually active. Although it cannot be totally cured, the Valtrex anti-viral drug can fight off the infection by reducing the growth and spread of the herpes virus. It can also be effective in treating cold sores, chickenpox and shingles.
Valtrex fights genital herpes which appears as uncomfortable red patches and small watery blisters around the genitals, which cause itching and burning pains. Valtrex genital herpes treatment contains valacyclovir as its active ingredient, which breaks down as it enters your body. Valacyclovir changes into the active ingredient aciclovir, an anti-viral medicine used to treat herpes virus infection.
