What is Valtrex?

Valtrex is an anti-viral medicine that can successfully treat infections caused by the herpes virus, such as genital herpes, cold sores and shingles. The main ingredient in Valtrex is valacyclovir, which works to prevent the herpes virus from multiplying and spreading during an outbreak. This allows your system to fight back more effectively, helping you to recover quicker and experience less painful symptoms.

Valtrex is available from HealthExpress, simply click on the link below to start your consultation. Your consultation will be checked by one of our doctors who will assess your suitability to use Valtrex. If your consultation is approved you will be able to order this treatment, safely and securely, along with other treatments that are suitable for your condition.

What are the benefits of Valtrex?

Valtrex can provide relief from the symptoms of herpes and can speed up your recovery. It's fast acting and can provide symptomatic relief within the first 24 hours of you taking it.

Sufferers of genital herpes can use Valtrex to clear the infection within as little as five days, while cold sore suffers can reduce the duration of a cold sore by one to two days, with a single day of treatment. Valtrex is proven to reduce the spread of a shingles rash by almost a third. In all cases, this medication is most effective the sooner you take it.

How does Valtrex work?

The main ingredient in Valtrex, valacyclovir, is a pro-drug. This means that it changes when it's inside the body into a more powerful form called acyclovir. Acyclovir targets the virus cells to stop it from duplicating and spreading. This leaves the remaining cells vulnerable to the body's natural defences.

Who can use Valtrex?

You can order Valtrex online if you are over 18 and require treatment for shingles, cold sores and genital herpes. If you experience regular outbreaks of genital herpes, you may be able to use Valtrex as a preventative treatment. You may not be able to use Valtrex if you suffer from conditions that affect your immune system, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Make sure that you mention all relevant details about your medical history and the medications you are taking, during your consultation.

How do you take Valtrex?

Valtrex can be very effective at treating cold sores, shingles and genital herpes if taken within 48 hours of you noticing the symptoms. Valtrex will need to be taken differently depending on the condition you are treating:

• Valtrex can effectively treat a cold sore with just a single day’s treatment. It is recommended that you take four Valtrex 500mg tablets, twice in the same day.

• To treat shingles, take two Valtrex 500mg tablets twice a day for seven days.

• To treat genital herpes, take one 500mg tablet once a day for seven to ten days. Ask a doctor for advice on using Valtrex as a long term preventative treatment.

Does Valtrex cause side effects?

Valtrex is very well tolerated, but can cause mild side effects in people who are sensitive to the ingredients. The most common side effects are nausea and headaches. Some of the less common side effects may include abdominal pain, period pain, dizziness, vomiting, joint pain and depression.
