Acyclovir (Zovirax) is primarily used to treat outbreaks of the herpes simplex virus in the skin. This powerful medicine is also used to treat outbreaks of shingles and chickenpox. Acyclovir offers relief to many people suffering from genital herpes and provides a way to control their symptoms and duration of outbreaks, enabling them to live a healthy, normal lifestyle.
Genital Herpes is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) which is able to lie dormant for years even before an outbreak occurs. Generally, the first signs of an outbreak are small sores. They can be as small in number as one and grow in size and sensitivity as well as excreting blood and puss until treated. It is important to remember, that even during periods of remission, it is still possible to spread the herpes virus to others.p>
Classic early warning signs for shingles include:
Valtrex is best for people who suffer from severe or frequent breakouts and is used for suppressive therapy while Acyclovir is best for people who have few and/or mild breakouts. It is important to remember that none of these medications can prevent the spread of the herpes virus to others.
