Valtrex For Genital Warts ?
Posted: 11-02-07 13:28pm

My son just got diagnosed with genital warts. The doctor prescribed Valtrex. When he told his girlfriend to get checked out, she did, but was told by her OBGYN that Valtrex was not the proper treatment for genital warts. I would like a second opinion. Thanks.

Valtrex is used to treat genital herpes not genital warts. Warts and herpes are two different things.The treatment for genital warts are: freezing them off,condylox gel,aldara cream,burned off,lasered off and surgically cut out.

Yes, Valtrex is the drug of choice of genital hepies. And I agree with blondie_899 that it does not work on warts. Valtrex has been the drug of choice like forever since it can out. There are many that are on it every day instead of just for flair up's too.
