Valtrex (Valacyclovir)

Valtrex Information:

Valtrex (generic name: Valacyclovir HCl) is a prescription medication for the treatment of the symptoms of the herpes virus. It belongs to the group of drugs called antivirals. The herpes virus is responsible for causing genital warts, cold sores, shingles and chickenpox. Valtrex is safe for the treatment of cold sores in children over 12, and children with chickenpox over the age of 2. Valacyclovir works by slowing the herpes virus, allowing the body to recover more quickly. Valtrex is a prodrug of a medication under the name of acyclovir, also known as Zovirax, but is more convenient as Valtrex can be taken less often. Herpes is contagious and can easily be passed from person to person. Genital wart is classed as a sexually transmitted infection, and can be prevented by using condoms, and symptoms are wart-like nodules on the genitals which can be itchy and uncomfortable as well as embarrassing. It is very common. Chickenpox is also a common infection in children and it spreads quickly through schools. If a patient gets to adulthood without ever having had chickenpox, they are at risk of catching shingles, the adult form of chickenpox which can be very dangerous. Valtrex helps to reduce the passing of the virus between people.
