Hello,
The acyclovir is best for the Zovirax and as equal efficacy with clinically proven results. There is not need to get rewrite the prescription for ganciclovir against this. Do remember to splash your eyes with cold water on frequent time periods.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
