Valtrex is an oral
medication that treats herpes outbreaks as they happen
and prevents them from reoccurring. Valtrex is the first
and only once-daily herpes medication clinically proven
to reduce the number of outbreaks you may get due to the
herpes virus. Valtrex works by disrupting the
reproduction process of the herpes virus, thus
preventing it from spreading to other cells in the body.
This puts the virus in an inactive or "sleeping" mode.
