INDICATIONS
Valtrex is used for treating shingles (herpes zoster), cold sores (fever blisters or herpes labialis), and treating, suppressing, or reducing transmission of genital herpes in patients with normal immune systems. It is also used to treat chickenpox in children and teenagers. It is also used to suppress genital herpes in patients with HIV infection. Valtrex is an antiviral. It works by stopping viral replication. However, Valtrex does not eliminate the virus; it is not a cure. When used as a suppressive therapy in patients with normal immune systems with genital herpes using safer sex practices, the risk of spreading the infections to others is reduced.
INSTRUCTIONS
Use Valtrex as directed by your doctor!
- Take Valtrex by mouth with or without food. If stomach upset occurs, take with food to reduce stomach irritation.

- If treating an acute outbreak, use Valtrex for the full course of treatment. Keep using it even if you feel better in a few days.
