This Review Title is Better than 'the Shot' and the content is: The shingles shot did not work for me, but this gel relieves the symptoms in 1 or 2 days, faster than taking prescription acyclovir.  No bad smell or stinging, and this jar should last a long time. Also, it seems like longer between outbreaks now. I am recommending this to my doctor..There are other information for this review, one is This reviewer did purchase it and the other is 1 people think this review is helpful.
