Valtrex - Antiviral Medication for Herpes

Sexually Transmitted diseases (STD's), or what are now referred to as Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI's) are never a pleasant experience

. The herpes virus is especially detrimental because once the virus enters into the body it utilizes the body as a host for life; There is currently no cure for the herpes virus. There are only medications that are used to control and lessen the pain and symptoms of an outbreak. The only way to ensure that you will not come into contact with this virus is to abstain from intercourse or only choose partners that have been tested and have come back negative for the virus. Using protection such as condoms with an unknown partner cannot guarantee that you will not become infected if the person is a carrier of the virus, open sores can be present on areas that a condom may not cover.

If a person does contract the herpes virus they can expect a lifetime of treatment of the medication Valtrex. Valtrex or generic Valacyclovir, is a 500mg-1000mg dose tablet used to treat the symptoms of herpes. It is an antiviral medication that has been proven to slow down the growth and spread of herpes, it is not a cure.

If you suspect that you may have contracted herpes you need to contact your doctor immediately and begin treatment as soon as possible. If herpes are left untreated the sores will become very big, swollen and very painful. Although you may be embarrassed about this disease, you must begin treatment immediately in order to avoid a very serious infection. A Valtrex prescription will usually be ongoing so you can fill it at the time of an outbreak. Unfortunately, a person who suffers from herpes outbreaks will not be able to tell when an outbreak will occur, and taking Valtrex unfortunately cannot prevent an outbreak. Valtrex is simply used to lessen the severity of the outbreak.

Valtrex does not prevent the spread of herpes between partners. So, if you have herpes and are taking Valtrex you can still transmit the disease even if currently, you do not have an outbreak or any sores at all. An outbreak depending on severity can last anywhere from 7 days to months. Valtrex is not a cheap medication, because drugs companies are not very sympathetic and tend to utilize serious diseases to their personal advantage and gain, brand Valtrex is very expensive. For a person who must be on this medication for the duration of every outbreak this can become virtually unaffordable for the average person. Online Canadian pharmacies provide generic Valtrex or even brand Valtrex at reduced prices.
