Valtrex
Valtrex is an effective prescription anti-viral medication that can treat and prevent a genital herpes outbreak. Genital herpes is a very uncomfortable and highly infectious virus, which can be transmitted easily through unprotected sex. Herpes cannot be cured, but its symptoms can be effectively treated. If you are experiencing an outbreak, the Valtrex anti-viral drug can reduce the growth and spread of the virus, while relieving the symptoms. It can also be used to treat cold sores, chickenpox and shingles.
A genital herpes outbreak will typically manifest itself as uncomfortable itchy red patches and small watery blisters. The Valtrex genital herpes treatment uses an active ingredient called valaciclovir. This ingredient breaks down when it enters your body and transforms into acyclovir, an anti-viral medication which is effective at fighting the herpes virus. Aciclovir prevents the herpes cells from reproducing, stopping the infection from spreading.
You can use the Valtrex genital herpes treatments to tackle the symptoms of herpes outbreaks, or you can take the medication to prevent further outbreaks. To relieve the symptoms of an attack, take a 500mg dosage for 5 days - 10 days.
