The most common treatments for shingles include: 1  Antiviral medicines, such as acyclovir, famciclovir, or valacyclovir, to reduce the pain and the duration of shingles. 2  Over-the-counter pain medicines, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, to help reduce pain during an attack of shingles. 3  Be safe with medicines.
Several studies have examined how well Valtrex treats shingles, cold sores, and genital herpes. In one study, people younger than 50 years of age with shingles were treated with Valtrex within three days of the beginning of a rash. In people who were not treated with the drug, it took three days for the formation of new blisters to stop. For the people who were treated with Valtrex, the blisters stopped forming one day sooner. The drug will not, however, change the length or severity of postherpetic neuralgia, which is severe pain that can occur after the shingles rash has healed. Valtrex is also not a cure for shingles.
