Shingles is a skin rash that typically appears around the abdomen and waist. It is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, the same virus responsible for chickenpox. Once a person has had chickenpox, the virus remains dormant in the body. It can reactivate later in life, especially if the immune system becomes weakened, spreading along nerve pathways. Shingles most commonly occurs in individuals over the age of 50.

Symptoms
The symptoms of shingles can be quite bothersome. They often include itching in the rash area and a burning or stinging pain that can be severe. Additional symptoms may include fever, a general feeling of malaise, and swollen, tender lymph glands. The rash typically develops into fluid-filled blisters that may ooze. The fluid from these blisters is highly contagious.
Shingles treatment
While shingles can be uncomfortable and painful, it usually heals within 2 to 4 weeks. Due to the intensity of the pain, it is advisable to manage it effectively. Treatment often begins with paracetamol, though this may not be sufficient for all individuals.
Antiviral medications can help alleviate symptoms and speed up recovery. Options include aciclovir, famciclovir, and valaciclovir (Zelitrex). These treatments are available for purchase online.

I only give 4 stars because of delivery time which maybe out of your control. But delivery of 4 days let's you down, it should be next day. Certain medication needs to be started ASAP. I took it anyway but I was healing . But the doctor side was really quick .

The NHS kept refusing me a previous prescribed medication which worked exceedingly well for a past medical issue that unfortunately came back. This medication helped me to get on with my life with very few side effects. After 3 years of being made to jump through hoops by the NHS and getting nowhere, I decided to use Doctoronline to buy the aforementioned medication from their website. Even though it cost me more than a standard prescription charge, it was well worth the money to feel better again. Now I feel more happy and have less pain and symptoms. Thank you for a fantastic service!
