However, even with widespread use of acyclovir, postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) remains a principal cause of postinfectious morbidity. Newer antiviral agents, such as famciclovir and valacyclovir, have recently been introduced for the treatment of uncomplicated herpes zoster. In a double-blind, randomized study, 500 mg of famciclovir three times daily for 7 days was compared with placebo; in a second study, 500 mg of famciclovir three times daily for 7 days was compared with 800 mg of acyclovir five times daily for 7 days. Famciclovir significantly reduced duration of viral shedding (P = 0.0001) and accelerated lesion resolution compared with placebo. Famciclovir was comparable to acyclovir for these acute parameters. Most importantly, famciclovir recipients lost PHN two times faster than those receiving placebo (P = 0.02 all patients; P = 0.004 patients > or = 50 years) resulting in a reduction in the median duration of PHN (56 days all patients; 100 days patients > or = 50 years). This reduction translated to a 3.5-month reduction in the median duration of PHN for patients 50 years or older, those at greatest risk for developing the most common complication of herpes zoster. Famciclovir 500 mg administered three times a day for 7 days is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for acute herpes zoster, and is the only oral antiviral agent proven to reduce the duration of PHN when administered during acute zoster infection.</p>","PeriodicalId":77387,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in dermatology","volume":"15 2 Suppl 1","pages":"27-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19808564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
