For the tens of millions of Americans who have herpes – a disease that does not go away – there is now a much cheaper alternative to the only effective medicine – Valtrex – that is getting to be widely available.
Health insurance companies have recently begun notifying their customers that valacyclovir, the generic form of Valtrex, is now becoming available in the U.S.
And it’s at about half the cost of Valtrex, which can run into the hundreds of dollars a month for the uninsured.
So if you have herpes and can’t afford Valtrex, ask your doctor about valacyclovir.

Why are medicines like this (Valtrex) not available over the counter? It’s ridiculous to expect people to have to go to a doctor to get medicine for embarassing diseases like this. What possible harm could it do to people? No harm, that’s the short answer. It’ll hurt the doctor’s fat wallet….that’s the real issue.
