Recently
I had herpes simplex of my lips and my doctor gave me docosanol. Does this drug
work?
No,
this is one of the most useless antiviral drugs around. It is exactly like topical
acyclovir- does jack shit. Docosanol does not cure herpes, does not shorten the
duration of infection and the pain relief is very mild. The drug must be applied
on the vesicles as soon as the lesions appear. Docosanol is also very expensive
and available over the counter. Avoid this medication because it is money thrown down the toilet.
