Medications for Shingles
When herpes zoster is diagnosed after 72 hours, doctors may treat the symptoms with pain relievers like Tylenol or acetaminophen or prescribe Advil or ibuprofen. Anti viral medications like Zovirax or acyclovir or Valtrex or valacyclovir and Famovir or famciclovir may also be prescribed as they help in decreasing the duration of skin rash and pain.
