Early therapy with appropriate antiviral medications such as acyclovir, valacyclovir, and famciclovir has been found to accelerate healing of the cutaneous and mucosal lesions, reduce the duration of the acute pain, and decrease the duration of postherpetic neuralgia.
These medications are most effective if initiated within 72 hours after development of the fi rst vesicle.
The newer generation of antiviral drugs, famciclovir and valacyclovir, may be more successful than acyclovir in reducing the prevalence of postherpetic neuralgia.
