It doesn't work over night, it takes about 4-7 days before you start to notice a difference. Break outs can last any where from 1-3 weeks with medication, try to be patient. You an do other things like take warm epsom salts baths to help sooth the symptoms. If you don't notice a difference in the beak out with in a week or two then go back to your doctor, the medication may not be working for you.

e herpes it will help with reducing the symptoms.
The anitivral drug works cuts down on the growth of the virus which drastically minimizes the spread of the virus in your body. It's important to know that it will not prevent it from being spread to someone else so precautions are necessary. It can be a trial to live with genital herpes.
Expect to have to deal with many problems, both physical and emotional. When you first contract the disease it will seem as if it is taking over your whole existence. Remember that there are presciption medications for herpes such as Valtex that will make life easier for you.
It should be taken immediately when the first burning and tingling appears. Don't wait for the blisters to show up.
If you experience any of these symptoms you should contact your doctor right away. Those people that are allergic to acyclovir or valacyclovir must not take Valtrex.
People who have a disease such as HIV or Aids or any condition that may weaken the immune system should definitely consult their doctor before taking Valtrex.

Yes, there isn't any. Herpes is caused by a virus. Actually, there is little cure for viruses nowadays. The only thing that you can generally do in the case of a viral infection is strengthen the immune system and hope it fights it off. Not with Herpes, the immune system can't win against it. Thus you only get to treat the symptoms. Once you're infected, it stays with you for life. So don't get infected.
Personal experience. I have had genital herpes for over 5 years.

Valtrex is a popular antiviral medicine that effectively slows the growth and spread of the herpes virus so that the body can fight off the infection. The active ingredient in Valtrex is valaciclovir. The antiviral medicine is found helpful for treating genital herpes, shingles and cold sores. Though Valtrex does not cure herpes, it is found immensely useful in reducing the symptoms of the infection.
Valtrex for shingles works by stopping the virus cells from replicating and spreading. It achieves this goal by blocking the action of viral enzyme called DNA polymerase that assists the herpes virus to replicate. Valtrex stops the herpes infection from replicating and spreading. This allows your body's immune system to deal with the virus much quickly than it would naturally. In addition, Valtrex antiviral medicine can also decrease the risk of passing genital herpes infection to your sexual partner.
To get effective results of Valtrex for shingles, you must use it as prescribed by your doctor. For best results, treatment with Valtrex should be started as early as possible after the first appearance of symptoms. It is suggested that you take the dose with a full glass of water. Drinking plenty of water while you are taking Valtrex helps to keep your kidneys function properly. You must also complete your course of Valtrex medicine, even if the symptoms get better. This will help Valtrex to deal with the infection in a better way and prevent any further outbreaks from occurring.The remaining count of pharmacies are considered to be independent or privately owned.
