Hi,

Has anyone tried both of these drugs suppressively and which one have you had the most success with?

Thanks in advance,

I tried both and have had better results with Famvir.

When you say better results do you mean less frequesnt ob's or less intense ones? How often did u get them on valtrex and how has the improvement been on famvir.

Thanks again for taking the time to respond to my previouis post. As an aside peroxide with dmso works like a charm for my Significant other.

I found Valtrex is the best supressive for me, but I still get the odd outbreak even though I take it daily. Peroxide is amazing!!

How many milligrams to you take daily? And do you increase your dose - when you feel an ob coming on? Always searching for a solution. Thanx,-ShinyOrnament
