We use 200 mg oral acyclovir once a day for daily low-dose acyclovir suppressive therapy in our patients with genital herpes caused by HSV-2 who have six or more recur-rences per year. Thus, this study is designed to characterize the affect of long-term, low-dose acyclovir suppressive ther-apy on susceptibility to acyclovir and frequency of

In another study by Dr. Serna-Ojeda, he and his colleagues treated pediatric patients with six months of oral acyclovir at a suppression dose level before proceeding with keratoplasty. They then continued the acyclovir at the suppression dose indefinitely.
