Genital herpes treatment

 

Acyclovir (Zovirax)

Taken orally, Acyclovir has been established as an effective antiviral. The primary function of Acyclovir is to slow down the growth rate of the herpes simplex virus, allowing the body’s natural immune system to work more effectively. Acyclovir is also shown to help reduce the symptoms of genital herpes. Possible side effects from taking Acyclovir include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite, abdominal pain, joint pain, dizziness or lightheadedness.


Valacyclovir Hydrochloride (Valtrex)

Once Valacyclovir Hydrochloride is taken orally, it quickly converts to its root element of acyclovir. Acyclovir is a proven antiviral, which effectively slows the growth of the herpes simplex type-1 and herpes simplex type-2 virus, allowing the bodies own immune system to attack the virus more effectively. Possible side effects of taking Valacyclovir Hydrochloride include nausea, dizziness, abdominal pain, headache and vomiting.


Famcyclovir (Famvir)

Another oral antiviral drug based on Acyclovir, Famcyclovir is traditionally administered for the treatment of shingles, which is the result of infection from a virus called varicella-zoster, a member of the herpes viral family. Possible side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache and fatigue.


Foscarnet (Foscavir)

Taken orally, Foscarnet acts as an inhibitor to the reproduction of the herpes simplex virus. Possible side effects include nausea, vomiting, headache, fever, anemia, seizures, diarrhea and abnormal renal function.


Penciclovir (Denavir)

An antiviral agent that is available as a topical solution for the treatment of a genital herpes outbreak. Possible side effects include a site reaction (rash) although the likely hood of such an occurrence is extremely low.
