Fast-Acting Antiviral to Shorten and Ease Outbreaks
Valaciclovir is a prescription antiviral used to treat cold sores (oral herpes / HSV-1).

It’s most effective when taken as soon as symptoms begin, such as tingling or itching around the lips.

How Does Valaciclovir Work?
Valaciclovir is converted in the body into aciclovir, which stops the herpes virus from multiplying. While it doesn’t cure the virus, it helps to:
- Shorten the duration of a cold sore outbreak
- Speed up the healing of blisters and lesions
- Reduce pain, redness, and itching
- Lower the risk of passing the virus to others
- Effective antiviral treatment for oral herpes (HSV-1)
- Works best when taken at the first sign of an outbreak
- Typically taken for just 1 to 2 days
- May reduce the chance of spreading the virus
- Convenient once- or twice-daily dosing
Who Can Use Valaciclovir?
- Experience cold sores and want fast relief
- Are looking for a shorter course of treatment than aciclovir
- Suffer from frequent or severe cold sore outbreaks
- Individuals with kidney problems (may require dose adjustment)
- People allergic to valaciclovir or aciclovir
- Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals (speak with a prescriber first)
