Does valtrex treat verruca vulgaris of the mouth?

Valtrex (valacyclovir) is an antiviral medication primarily used to treat infections caused by certain viruses, such as herpes simplex and varicella-zoster. Verruca vulgaris, commonly known as warts, are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and are not treated with antiviral medications like Valtrex. Instead, verruca vulgaris is typically treated with topical treatments, cryotherapy, or other methods targeting HPV. Therefore, Valtrex is not effective for verruca vulgaris of the mouth.


What does cryosurgery do for verruca?

Cryosurgery for verruca, commonly known as warts, involves freezing the growth using liquid nitrogen. This process destroys the tissue of the verruca by causing ice crystals to form within the cells, leading to cell death. As a result, the wart typically falls off after a few days or weeks. Cryosurgery is considered an effective treatment option, especially for stubborn or recurrent verrucas.
