Is Valacyclovir An Effective Medication For Shingles?
I have had four outbreaks of shingles this past year. I'm on an antiviral (ValACYclovir-1 gm/day) now to prevent outbreaks. What are the signs I should look for as far as adverse effects of this medicine? And, have you heard of anyone having this many outbreaks? They are on my face or in my ears, usually.
