What is Valtrex?

Valtrex contains valacyclovir and is an antiviral medication used to treat infections that are caused by herpes viruses including cold sores, shingles and genital herpes. Valacyclovir can decrease the severity and length of outbreaks and lessen the symptoms of an infection but will not cure herpes or prevent you from spreading the virus to other people.
