Valtrex is an antiviral medication that helps treat infections caused by herpes viruses. It works by inhibiting the replication of herpes viruses inside the body, thus preventing them from spreading. When a person is infected with herpes, the immune system mistakenly attacks the virus causing the infection. This causes the body to produce antibodies that can prevent the virus from spreading. Valtrex does not protect against viral infections that may be caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV), which is also called cold sores (herpes simplex virus type 2 or HSV).
