My partner has a bottle of sleeping pills and accidentally left them in my home. A friend of mine saw the bottle, looked inside and noticed two oval shaped dark blue pills with F82 written on them. She google the pill description and saw that it was Valacyclovir, which is used to treat Herpes. I confronted my partner and stated that she does not have Herpes and it is to treat something else. When I look online I see that the drug treats Herpes 1 & 2, Chickenpox (do people still get Chicken Pox?), and Shingles. Is there an Off Brand usage that I don't know about? I want to make sure she is not withholding information.
