Herpes: Antiviral tablets are given as treatment for herpes. They are very effective in decreasing the shedding of virus and decreasing the duration of infection. In spite of treatment herpes virus in most cases persists in nerve cells in body and can get reactivated and can cause recurrence. If someone gets recurrent herpes , antiviral medications can be given to prevent recurrence .
