Acyclovir vs valtrex
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi
I have been given two scripts
One for valtrex oraland one for aclyovir topical ointment.
Does anyone know why i would use both?
I understand the valtrex and what it dies, but how is aclyovir different? Does it help avtually heal things, or is it just another form of viral suppression?

Gotcha
They are from two different docs so i wasnt sure if there was any real benefit in using both

However, the ointment is only recommended for the first outbreak. Cream is supposedly better for recurrences, but the general medical trend/advice for GH is oral antivirals over topical antivirals. The latter is less effective and does not reduce shedding.
