How Treat the herpes?

Vaccines

Herpes vaccines are currently being investigated and it is felt that an effective vaccine may be available in 3-5 years. Vaccines will only function to prevent the infection in new patients. Those who already have the simplex virus disease will probably not gain any benefit. Some vaccines have been tried to prevent the HSV occurrence, but so far had no noticible effects. These include the smallpox, Polio and Lupidon C vaccine.

¿What is Valtrex?

Valtrex is an antiviral drug. It slows the growth and spread of the herpes virus so that the body can fight off the infection. Valtrex lessens the symptoms of these infections and shortens the length of time you are sick. Valtrex is used in the treatment and suppression of genital herpes, shingles, and cold sores. Valtrex is not a cure for herpes virus infections. Valtrex may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

¿What is the most important information I should know about Valtrex?

Take all of the Valtrex that has been prescribed for you even if you begin to feel better. Your symptoms may start to improve before the infection is completely treated. Treatment with Valtrex should be started as soon as possible after the first appearance of symptoms (e.g. tingling, burning, blisters). Herpes infections are contagious and you can infect other people, even during treatment. Avoid letting infected areas come into contact with other people. Wash your hands frequently to prevent transmission. Valtrex is not a cure for herpes virus infections.
