Abstract
The objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a homeopathic complex
in terms of intensity of attacks and duration of remission between attacks of genital
herpes. Fifty three patients aged 18 or over with a minimum of four attacks annually
were followed in this open multicentre study in a primary care setting. The principal
parameters analysed were: frequency of attacks; intensity of symptoms, during treatment
and/or after stopping treatment; treatment tolerance.
Eighty-two percent of patients treated for recurrent genital herpes benefited. In
41% of cases, there was no recurrence after the first treatment with follow-up of
between 8 and 50 months. In 32% of patients, one or two relapses, in 9% of patients
recurrences continued but with reduced frequency and intensity.
