- Title

- Authors
Sacks, Stephen L.; Aoki, Fred Y.
- Abstract
This article focuses on the treatment of genital herpes simplex virus (HSV). Treatment of herpes simplex virus is currently based on the acyclic nucleoside analogues. Aciclovir was the first such oral drug to be developed for the treatment of HSV infections. Frequent administration may be required and efficacy may be limited in some patients because of its limited bio-availability. Penciclovir is another acyclic nucleoside analogue with anti-HSV activity that has similar potency and selectivity to aciclovir.
