Yes of course ma'am, the course of treatment is very effective

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Yes of course ma'am, as you know all information of herpes, the main approach is to suppress the virus and with the help of the available anti-viral medication (e.g. acyclovir, ganciclovir, famciclovir), you can achieve just that.

All you need to do is to make sure you consult a doctor locally, who will not only provide you with a prescription, but will also supervise your response and make sure you safely (without any side effects) complete the course and suppress your symptoms in order to live a safe and symptom-free life.

I hope you find my response helpful. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
