Although there is no herpes cure, there are various herpes medications available that can ease the discomfort of your genital herpes symptoms and shorten the length of the herpes outbreak. Treatment of genital herpes lesions can be divided into two categories:

• non-specific treatments aimed at reducing symptoms of genital herpes lesions
• specific antiviral therapies meant to hasten lesion healing or prevent recurrences.

Antiviral genital herpes treatment

Your doctor might prescribe one of three medicines to treat it as well as to help prevent future episodes.

• Acyclovir (Zovirax)
• Famciclovir (Famvir)
• Valacyclovir (Valtrex)

Acyclovir (Zovirax), valacyclovir (Valtrex) or famciclovir (Famvir), lessen the symptoms and frequency of fever blister recurrences. These drugs prevent genital herpes from multiplying and are effective when taken in pill form prior to an outbreak of the genital herpes virus.

A genital herpes treatment is considered to be successful if no new outbreaks occur within 3 years.
