Is Zovirax Effective In Treating Shingles?

Hi, I am 71 years old and I have had an outbreak of shingles for about six weeks noe and they have scabs that are itchy, also looks like today that I may have a little spreading. These are all on the back of my right leg and butt. I have not gone to my GP since I recognized what they were. I have been very lathergic and seem to need to sleep a lot. Would the drug Zovirax help to stop any spreading and help this to heal faster? Thanks.
