How do the herpes drugs work on the body and it's immune system to prevent breakouts and 'viral shedding'?

What are the side effects of the herpes drugs?

Thank you.

Hi and thanks for writing! My name is MK and I am the producer of this site.

You ask some REALLY GOOD questions. If you'd like to learn more about herpes drugs and their side effects, go to our Drug Information Page, which lists each drug separately and includes information about dosage and side effects.

You can also check out our Video on Viral Shedding or our Herpes Complications page to learn more about viral shedding.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

I starting taking Valtrex more than a year and half ago. I took it faithfully for more than a year, but always felt itchy.

I stopped taking it 2 months ago, and the itch not only continued, but got worse. I'm back on Valtrex 4 days now. The itch is a tiny bit better, but I have a bad taste in my mouth. I think I had the bad taste the first time around too, but didn't associate the two.

Love is bigger than herpes!
