Abstract
Regarding the treatment of herpes zoster, aciclovir (ACV) is as the most effective and safe drug available. ACV reduces the viral shedding time and promotes the cutaneous healing and pain resolution. Oral ACV in high doses (5 x 800 mg daily), as well, has proved effective in the treatment of acute herpes zoster. If there is no convincing effect on the pain, additional application of corticoids in high doses may be of benefit.
