Abstract

In a multicenter study, the efficacy of oral acyclovir 800 mg daily in preventing the development of recurrent herpes simplex virus lesions in 379 patients was assessed. Medication given in two or four divided doses daily for one year was highly effective and well tolerated. A high therapeutic index of acyclovir was maintained throughout the period of study.
