chapter 32 Anti-HSV and VZV Agents 209<br />

these agents can be used to treat HSV-2 infections<br />

(genital herpes) to prevent outbreaks or decrease<br />

symptom duration. They are all also effective in<br />

treating VZV infection.<br />

Don’t Forget!<br />

Make sure your patient can afford valacyclovir<br />

or famciclovir before prescribing either one.<br />

Oral acyclovir is less convenient, but much less<br />

expensive.
