what is the diffrence between valcivir and valtrex?

I was prescribed valtrex but valcivir is cheaper, does valcivir really valtrex generic and does it's as effective as valtrex?

Valtrex and valacyclovir are the same medication.
valtrex is not available as a generic in the US at this time. I believe it is available as a generic in canada and india.

If you are in the US, go with acyclovir instead if cost is an issue.
