Valtrex (valacyclovir) is an antiviral medication used to treat infections caused by certain types of viruses, including herpes simplex (which causes cold sores and genital herpes), herpes zoster (which causes shingles), and varicella-zoster (which causes chickenpox). It works by inhibiting the replication of viral DNA, thereby reducing the severity and duration of the outbreaks.
