Cold sores and genital herpes are caused by different versions of the herpes simplex virus (HSV1 & HSV2). These common conditions can be painful, embarrassing, and chronic. By utilizing an oral antiviral medication like Valacyclovir, you may be able to reduce the occurrence of cold sores or genital herpes, or help break-outs heal faster than they would without treatment. Our doctors can review your information to see if preventative or episode-based Valacyclovir treatment is a good option for you.
