Valacyclovir Hydrochloride tablet

What is this medicine?

VALACYCLOVIR is an antiviral agent. It is used to treat herpes zoster infection (shingles), genital herpes infection and cold sores. This medicine is not a cure. It will help the sores heal faster. It can also be used to suppress genital herpes infection. This medicine, in combination with safer sex practices, may reduce the risk of spreading herpes infection, but even with therapy, it is still possible to pass herpes infection on to your partner.

This medicine may be used for other purposes; ask your health care provider or pharmacist if you have questions.
