A member asked:
Does valacyclovir work well with lysine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lysine doesn't work: Lysine has no effect on herpes -- don't believe everything you read on line! Valacyclovir is highly effective, but I suggest you not waste good money on magical treatments that have no chance of success.
