    Hi,
    Valtrex belongs to the second generation of antihemolytic medications. Valtrex is intended for treating and prevention of genital and lip herpes relapses and treating herpes zoster. Valtrex is unable to cure genital herpes completely (like any other drug), but long use of the drug helps to increase the stretch of time between relapses. Compare with other drugs belonging to the same group, Valtrex has a more continuous and apparent effect. The medicine penetrates into all cells of a body, but works only in those ones, where herpes simplex virus is reproduced. Valtrex undergoes a number of complicated chemical transformations in a cell, gets into the virus and inhibits its reproduction. Valtrex side effects are insignificant, and as a rule the medicine is well tolerated by most patients. Generic Valtrex does not interact with other medicines or alcohol. The rare side effects  (in 1-3% of patients) include nausea, stomach disorder or slight headache. For treating herpes relapse 500mg of Valtrex is taken 2 times a day (in the morning and evening) during 3 days. If you have genital herpes first time in your life, the duration of the treatment course should b increased up to 10 days. You can buy Valtrex at low price at an online pharmacy. The best effect from the drug is achieved if you start taking it within 24 hours from the moment the relapse started. If you take the first tablet at the moment you experience the forerunner-symptoms of herpes (itching, pricking, reddening in the region  of s*x organs), then you can prevent the development of the relapse. Valtrex is also an effective suppressant. One tablet a day is enough for prevention of relapse. But if you experience relapses frequently (more than 6 times a year), your doctor may recommend you to take one tablet in the morning and one in the evening. Valtrex should not be used by patients who have allergic reaction to acyclovir.
