cold sores
"Approx 1 week ago I started to feel and see a little dot starting to swell.  I called my Dr immediately to request a prescription for Valtrex.  However, my pharmacy provided me with the generic brand.  I used the generic for 4 days 500mg the swelling slowed down but I could still feel the itch and new the generic wasn't working.  I had a prescription put in for the name brand Valtrex after 1 day the dot started to go down and dry up.  Valtrex is the way to go for cold sore survivors."
