What is suppressive treatment of genital herpes with Acyclovir?
Suppressive treatment of genital herpes means you take Acyclovir continuously to help suppress outbreaks of genital herpes before they occur. You take Acyclovir every day. This method may be preferred if you have frequent outbreaks, outbreaks are more severe with painful symptoms, outbreaks and anticipation of outbreaks are very stressful, or you simply want to minimize the number of outbreaks.
