Overview

Valtrex 1000 mg Tablets contain Valacyclovir, an antiviral medication used for treating and suppressing infections caused by herpes viruses, including herpes zoster (shingles), genital herpes, and cold sores. Valacyclovir is a prodrug of acyclovir and offers improved bioavailability, making it effective with less frequent dosing.

Key Benefits

  • Reduces outbreak duration and severity
  • Lowers risk of transmission to sexual partners
