There are medications available to treat genital herpes infections and prevent recurrent infections. However, none of the drugs get rid of the virus. Herpes has no “cure.” The decision to use one treatment over another for genital herpes depends on several factors that must be discussed with your doctor.
Prescription Medications
Acyclovir
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.
Valtrex
Valtrex (valacyclovir) is an antiviral prescription medication which is used to treat patients who are suffering from outbreaks of the herpes simplex virus, cold sores and shingles. This drug has been clinically proven to reduce the duration and the severity of outbreaks as well as limiting the occurrence of future outbreaks.
Famvir
Genital Herpes, Cold Sores, and Shingles Treatment.
Famvir (famciclovir) is an antiviral prescription medication which is prescribed to treat outbreaks of the herpes simplex virus including cold sores and shingles. When taken properly it can help to reduce the duration of the symptoms and prevent future outbreaks
Denavir
Denavir (penciclovir topical) is an antiviral topical cream that is used to treat reoccurring cold sores on the mouth. When used as directed, it can lessen the duration and the symptoms of cold sores and suppress them from reoccurring.
