Valtrex (valacyclovir): Valtrex has been a life saver in relation to recurring shingles. It reduces the pain and inflammation and duration of the outbreak.

Valtrex (valacyclovir): I was able to take Valtrex within 14 hours of the onset of the rash and I feel that it helped suppress what could have been a disaster. It has been three days on Valtrex and I am beginning to feel myself. The rash suppressed it's growth and is beginning the second and third cycle of healing.

valacyclovir: I started taking Valtrex within 24 hours of a small rash appearing. The rash continued to get somewhat larger but then stopped (within 3 days). It never developed any further. I just finished the 7 day prescription. No leakage, no pain, just a slight itch and the rash is fading. It appears that the sooner you start treatment, the faster it clears up. Thanks

Valtrex (valacyclovir): Stayed with it for two weeks. Did it help? I couldn't say it did one way or the other. The post herpetic neuralgia has been excruciating.
