Buy Valtrex Tablets for Herpes Online in the UK
Valtrex contains the active ingredient Valaciclovir and is in the antiviral medicine category. It functions by eradicating or inhibiting the development of the cytomegalovirus (CMV), varicella zoster (VZV), and herpes simplex (HSV) viruses.
When used within 48 hours of the onset of the initial genital herpes signs (such as pain, burning, or blisters), valacyclovir performs best. Valacyclovir works best when taken within 24 hours of the onset of signs of recurrent genital herpes outbreaks.
The way that Valtrex functions is by halting the growth and transmission of the herpes virus.
As an off-label use, your doctor might also advise Valtrex to help stop further cold sores. In that situation, you and the doctor would work together to develop the best course of action for you.
At OxfordOnlinePharmacy we offer two pack sizes of Valtrex Tablets, see below:
84 Valtrex 500mg Tablets - for prevention of a recurrence/re-appearance of genital herpes (previously diagnosed)
20 Valtrex 500mg Tablets - for herpes outbreaks
You can also find the Valtrex outbreak and prevention pack here.
Please make sure any and all sexual partners are also tested.
The manufacturer of the product supplied may vary. Please read the patient information leaflet that is provided with the product.
