Start antiviral treatment within the critical 72-hour window. A Pennsylvania-licensed clinician reviews your shingles symptoms and prescribes FDA-approved antivirals (valacyclovir, famciclovir, or acyclovir) — ready same-day at your Pennsylvania pharmacy. Pennsylvania has one of the oldest populations in the country, and shingles risk climbs sharply with age, so telehealth lets older adults statewide start the 72-hour clock — and lower postherpetic neuralgia risk — without a trip to the clinic.
No appointments, no waiting rooms, no video calls. Start your antiviral inside the 72-hour window — wherever you are in Pennsylvania.
Describe your shingles rash and symptoms in a short health questionnaire from your phone or computer. No video call, no appointment, no waiting room.
A Pennsylvania-licensed clinician reviews your intake and prescribes an FDA-approved oral antiviral if appropriate — typically within 4 hours, so you can start inside the 72-hour window after the rash appears.
If treatment is appropriate, your prescription is sent to your Pennsylvania pharmacy (CVS, Rite Aid, Giant Eagle, Weis, Walgreens) for same-day pickup, or your medication can be shipped to your door.
Shingles (herpes zoster) is a reactivation of the chickenpox virus. It typically shows up as a painful, one-sided rash in a single band across the body or face. Recognize these early signs so you can start antiviral treatment within the 72-hour window.
Shingles antivirals (valacyclovir, famciclovir, or acyclovir) work best when started within 72 hours of the rash appearing. Early treatment can shorten the outbreak and helps reduce the risk of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) — the lingering burning nerve pain that can follow shingles. If you think you have shingles, start your assessment as soon as possible.
Some shingles cases need a hands-on exam and should be seen urgently in person or at an ER, not online. Seek in-person care right away if the rash is on your face or forehead or near your eye (zoster ophthalmicus can threaten your sight), if the rash is spreading across your face or widely across your body, or if you have a weakened immune system. These situations carry higher risk and require an in-person evaluation. See CDC shingles guidance →

Early treatment eases nerve pain and lowers the risk of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) for the older adults most affected, anywhere in Pennsylvania.
Yes. Pennsylvania's Telemedicine Act — Act 42 of 2024 (SB 739) — lets licensed clinicians evaluate patients and prescribe non-controlled medications through telehealth. Antivirals such as valacyclovir, famciclovir, and acyclovir are non-controlled, so a Pennsylvania-licensed clinician can review your history and prescribe them online, with no in-person visit required.
