FAQ
What is the mechanism of valaciclovir action?
Valacyclovir is metabolized to acyclovir, which is then turned into acyclovir triphosphate (ACV-TP). ACV-TP inhibits viral DNA polymerase competitively, integrates into and ends the developing viral DNA chain, and inactivates viral DNA polymerase.
Can valacyclovir treat an infection of the skin?
Valacyclovir is from the family of drugs known as antivirals. It is used to treat shingles, a viral infection of the skin (herpes zoster). It is also used to treat cold sores and to cure and prevent genital herpes recurrences.
Are yeast infections treated by valacyclovir?
Candida infections are not treated by valacyclovir (Valtrex) (including the thrush that you seem to have). The medicine is used to treat and prevent recurring herpes and zoster viral infections; in this regard, your doctor may be utilizing Valtrex to avoid a painful return of your shingles.
