Valtrex
Valtrex is an antiviral medication that is effective in the treatment of herpes infections such as shingles, genital herpes and cold sores. Valtrex contains the ingredient valacyclovir, which prevents the herpes simplex and zoster viruses from spreading; giving your body’s immune system the time it needs to fight the virus.
Valtrex can shorten the duration of herpes infections and will reduce the discomfort caused by symptoms, providing it’s taken soon after you notice the first symptoms.
You can buy Valtrex online in 500mg tablets that work quickly to alleviate the symptoms of herpes. It can reduce the painful symptoms of genital herpes within 24 hours and clear an outbreak within as little as five days.
A single treatment can improve your skin’s recovery time from cold sores by one to two days, and it can reduce the spread of shingles by a third, while reducing the painful symptoms.

What are the benefits of taking Valtrex?
Valtrex can provide relief from the symptoms of cold sores, shingles and genital herpes within the first 24 hours of taking this treatment and can also reduce the amount of time you are ill. It inhibits the further spread of the virus, so that your body can better fight off the infection. This helps you to recover much quicker, and will make the condition much less uncomfortable and painful.
How does it work?
Valtrex is a pro-drug, which means that it is only converted into its most active state when it’s inside the body. The main ingredient is valacyclovir hydrochloride, but once ingested it becomes the fast acting active ingredient acyclovir. It helps combat the virus by preventing a viral enzyme, known as DNA polymerase, from helping the virus duplicate itself and spread from one healthy cell to another. This allows the virus to be driven back into a dormant state quicker by the body’s immune system.
Who can use Valtrex?
Valtrex can be taken by most people over the age of 18 who require treatment for cold sores, shingles or genital herpes. It should usually be taken when you first notice symptoms, but the treatment can be taken as a preventative treatment for genital herpes, to stop sporadic painful outbreaks.
Who can’t use Valtrex?
Although Valtrex is generally safe for most people to use, it is not recommended that people with kidney or liver conditions use this treatment. It is also not advised to use this treatment if you suffer from immune deficiency disorders such as HIV. Make sure to mention if you are pregnant or breastfeeding during your consultation as a doctor may recommend an alternative treatment. This treatment may also not be suitable if you suffer from depression. It is important to mention any other information relevant to your health or medications you may be taking.
How do you take Valtrex?
Valtrex should be taken in different dosages depending on the type of infection you want to treat:
- To help treat cold sores, Valtrex only needs to be taken for one day. Four Valtrex 500mg tablets should be taken twice on this day.
- To treat shingles, take two Valtrex 500mg tablets twice a day for seven days.
- For genital herpes, take a 500mg tablet once a day for up to five days. If this is the first time you are experiencing an outbreak then you may be advised to extend the treatment to ten days. Ask advice from a doctor if you want to use this medication as a preventative treatment.
Does Valtrex cause side effects?
Valtrex is very well tolerated however; some people tend to be more sensitive to the ingredients in this treatment than others. The side effects are normally mild and include nausea and headaches. Some of the less common side effects are abdominal pain, painful periods, vomiting, dizziness, joint pain and depression. If you are taking Valtrex for the first time you are more likely to experience side effects because your body isn’t yet used to the ingredients, however your body will eventually adapt if you are using it for more than a day.
