Valacyclovir can effectively manage your cold sores caused by type one herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) and stops the growth, replication, and spread of cold sores by attacking the DNA of the virus.

The patient experience we are providing is very important to me. No jumping through hoops, just evidence-based FDA-approved medication and the most effective treatments that are legally and medically sound. I am excited to help others feel good about themselves without feeling embarrassed or ashamed of what is medically happening to their bodies.
