Valacyclovir Hydrochloride（Cat No.:A000362） is an antiviral medication used to treat infections caused by herpes viruses, including herpes simplex (HSV) and varicella-zoster (VZV). As a prodrug of acyclovir, it converts to its active form in the body, inhibiting viral DNA replication. This action effectively reduces the severity and duration of outbreaks, alleviating symptoms and promoting faster healing. Valacyclovir is used for managing genital herpes, cold sores, shingles, and chickenpox. It is also prescribed for suppressive therapy to reduce the frequency of recurrent infections. Known for its high bioavailability and efficacy, Valacyclovir improves patient outcomes in viral infection management.
