Defined Tag: Herpes Treatment.

There is no cure for herpes, but if caught in time the symptoms can be treated very effectively and the severity of the attack can be greatly reduced. Also if the attack is treated early enough, there is a strong possibility that the likelihood of developing post herpetic neuralgia is reduced.

Herpes treatment can be administered in several ways depending a lot of the time on the victims own choice. Many people who have suffered from herpes for a number of years have discovered their own effective herpes treatment and these can range from pharmaceutical products either bought over the counter or prescribed by their doctor to home made recipes which they swear by.

Pharmaceutical products can include topical medications as well as those taken orally and the most popular herpes treatment include

* Zovirax (acyclovir
* Famvir (famciclovir)
* Valtrex (valacyclovir),

These antiviral drugs are also very useful in reducing the pain caused by the herpes virus which is called post herpetic neuralgia. Other types of herpes treatment often used for relieving post herpetic neuralgia include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, some antidepressants and anticonvulsants, and specific topical treatments.

It's important that herpes treatment is administered promptly when an outbreak is first diagnosed. This is because it can lead to complications if left untreated especially if the outbreak is on the face.

Herpes can affect a sufferer's vision especially if the cornea of the eye is infected, and in very bad cases a herpes outbreak on a person's face has been known to cause blindness or impaired vision.

Home made or natural treatments can vary from iced tea, to lotions and potions made to "old secret recipes" and dependent on who is using these treatments, the results can be varied.

There is a lot of research and many millions of dollars being spent on finding an effective herpes treatment and cure, but unfortunately this is still some time off.

The best most people can do if they are suffering from an outbreak of herpes is to choose the most effective medication they can find and ensure it is taken or applied as soon as the symptoms occur.

They should also remember that whilst in an acute stage the lesions, blisters and ulcers are very contagious and any contact especially sexual should be kept to a minimum.
