Description

We evaluated the therapeutic effects of oral acyclovir (2400mg) administered 3 times daily to 20 patients with mild, moderate and severe attacks of herpes zoster. The final global improvement rate was 100% (13/13) for mild attacks and 85.7% (6/7) for moderate and severe attacks. The rate of marked improvement was 38.5% (5/13) for mild attacks. Although the standard dosage was reported to be 4000mg 5 times daily, our results suggest that 2400mg of oral acyclovir 3 times daily is also effective in mild cases of herpes zoster.
