what is the generic name of gestex ?? ## i have a herpes and the pills are killing me financially can you give the generic names of valtrex and famir as prescribed in the internet ## Gestex contains the active ingredients Mestranol and Norethindrone, it is mostly used as an emergency contraceptive. Jimmy Lee, Valtrex contains the active ingredient Valcyclovir, this would also be the generic name, it is available in the U.S. as a generic from Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals. Famvir contains Famcyclovir, the generic is manufactured by Teva pharmaceuticals. Are there any other questions?
