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.

Order Valaciclovir online from MediClick Pharmacy following a secure online consultation, with discreet UK-wide delivery.

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.

Key Benefits
  • Treats active genital herpes outbreaks
  • Helps reduce pain, discomfort, and healing time
  • Can be used daily to suppress recurring episodes
  • Requires fewer daily doses than aciclovir
  • May reduce the risk of transmission

Who Can Use Valaciclovir?

Valaciclovir may be suitable for adults who:
  • Have been diagnosed with genital herpes
  • Experience frequent or severe outbreaks
  • Are looking to reduce the risk of transmission
Valaciclovir is not suitable for:
  • Individuals with kidney problems (dose adjustment may be required)
  • Those allergic to valaciclovir or aciclovir
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals (speak with a GP first)
