Dear Mr. Sharma Antiviral Therapy should be given for Uncomplicated Herpes Zoster. The goals of antiviral therapy in herpes zoster are to decrease pain, inhibit viral replication and shedding, promote healing of skin lesions, and prevent or reduce the severity of postherpetic neuralgia. Three antiviral agents, acyclovir, valacyclovir, and famciclovir, happen to be approved for treatment of herpes zoster in the usa. The mechanism of action for all of these agents may be the protection against varicella-zoster virus (VZV) replication through inhibition of the viral DNA polymerase With regards Sadhana |
