How does it work?

The main ingredient in Valtrex is called valacyclovir hydrochloride. When the tablet is absorbed into your body, this is converted into acyclovir. The herpes virus needs the DNA polymerase enzyme to help it duplicate itself and spread from one healthy cell to another. Valtrex valacyclovir inhibits the DNA polymerase, making it difficult for the virus to spread. This gives the body enough time to fight back and makes your symptoms less severe and painful.

How should you take Valtrex tablets?

Valtrex should be taken in different dosages depending on the infection you need to treat:

• Two 500mg tablets should be taken per day for the treatment of cold sores. For the first outbreak, a course of treatment should last no longer than ten days. For recurrent outbreaks, a course of treatment is between three and five days.
• To treat shingles, take two 500mg tablets three times a day for seven days.
• Take two 500mg tablet every day for up to ten days to treat the first outbreak of genital herpes. If you are experiencing a recurrent outbreak, you should take these two tablets daily for three to five days. If you want to use it as a long-term treatment, you should take one 500mg tablet every day.
