Effective Antiviral Tablets to Treat and Suppress Herpes
Valaciclovir (also known as Valtrex) is a prescription antiviral medication used to treat and suppress genital herpes (HSV-2) outbreaks. It helps reduce the severity and duration of symptoms and may also be prescribed as a long-term preventative treatment to reduce the frequency of recurrences.

How Does Valaciclovir Work?
Valaciclovir is converted in the body to aciclovir, an antiviral agent that blocks the herpes virus from multiplying. It helps control outbreaks and speeds up the healing of blisters and sores.
When taken regularly, Valaciclovir can also reduce the risk of future outbreaks and lower the chance of passing the virus to a partner.
