is there any over the counter medicine like valtrex?
Valtrex (valacyclovir) and Abreva (docosanol cream) are antiviral medications used to treat herpes labialis (cold sores). Valtrex is also used to treat infections with herpes zoster (shingles) and herpes simplex genitalis (genital herpes). Abreva is available as a generic and over-the-counter (OTC).
