cold sores
"Great medication!  I am a hygienist and have been looking for a treatment for cold sores for my patients.  I learned about Valtrex in school, but had not had a chance to try until I got an outbreak recently.  I had my doctor prescribe me 2g to take 12 hours apart as the herpes labialis prescription suggests and it worked wonders.  I got tingling on Tuesday, took medication on Wednesday (had small blister forming at time), and on Thursday it is a small healing scab.  Never got big enough for anyone to notice unless I pointed it out (which I did to everyone in my dental office because the healing was so great, they agreed). I am going to recommend for my patients who suffer from frequent cold sores."
