Genital Herpes Treatment
Genital herpes is a viral STI which is fairly common in the UK. A diagnosis of genital herpes can be distressing because the virus that causes outbreaks is incurable. However, this does not mean that you will have to suffer from the uncomfortable symptoms of genital herpes indefinitely. Though outbreaks of genital herpes will probably reoccur throughout your lifetime, you can reduce their frequency and control and alleviate symptoms when they do occur with medication.
What genital herpes treatment options are there?
There are three options of genital herpes treatment, and they are Aciclovir, Famvir and Valtrex. These prescription medications work to reduce uncomfortable symptoms that are typically experienced during outbreaks of genital herpes, and also can shorten the duration of an outbreak. Aciclovir, an anti-viral medication in the form of tablets, is often prescribed to a person experiencing an outbreak for the first time. The prescribed dose is usually one 200mg tablet five times per day for five days. It can also be taken as a preventative treatment as a 200mg tablet four times per day for six to 12 months.
Valtrex is another antiviral medication which can provide relief from herpes symptoms within 24 hours, while working towards clearing an outbreak completely in just five days. Valtrex is available in 500mg tablets which are usually taken once per day for five days. Famvir, the third genital herpes treatment option, can also stop symptoms within a 24 hour period. There are three dosage strengths available, and they are 125mg, 250mg and 500mg. The lower dosages are usually prescribed as a preventative treatment rather than on an as-needed basis for an outbreak. The 500mg dosage is normally used for outbreaks as and when they occur. The medication is most effective if it is taken as soon as possible after the first symptoms of an outbreak occur. Famvir is often the prescription treatment of choice for patients over the age of 50.
