Can treatment help prevent multiple herpes outbreaks?
Suppressive therapy can provide coverage for individuals who have frequent outbreaks. During therapy, an individual with frequent outbreaks takes a small dose of anti-herpes medication every day. It has been proven that suppressive therapy can reduce the number of outbreaks by over 90 percent. Patients have taken suppressive therapy for long periods of time, but in most cases, patients can be weaned from it.
