What are the benefits of using Valtrex to treat cold sores?

How does Valtrex work?

Valtrex contains valacyclovir hydrochloride. Valacyclovir is a pro-drug, which means that when it is digested by the body it is converted to acyclovir, its active form. Acyclovir slows down the progression of the infection, so that the body can fight the virus better. This is why it's important to take it as soon as you experience the early symptoms. The sooner it stops the virus from spreading, the less intense your symptoms will be and the sooner your body can push the virus back into its dormant state.
