question: Hi Doctor. I am suffering from HSV-1 (herpes liabialis). I had the first outbreak in March 2010. My doctor prescribed me Valcivir 500 tablets for 8 months. after that I have got another outbreak now in July 2011. Now my doctor has prescribed me Zovirax 400 tablets for 5 days and herpex 4% cream. Do you think my treatment is fine. How can I avoid futher outbreaks? Do number of outbreaks get reduced with time?
