Recurrent genital herpes is a commonly occurring sexually transmitted disease caused by
herpes simplex virus (HSV). There are effective oral prescription antiviral medicines
available to reduce the discomfort of symptoms, such as famciclovir and aciclovir.
This is a phase III, multicenter, randomized, parallel-group study to compare the efficacy
and safety of treatment with famciclovir (125 mg) versus aciclovir (200 mg) in patients with
active recurrent genital herpes.
