It seems to work for a lot of people. The Medavir website says it is effective in 98% of people who use it. However, I would suggest that before you start using it, you do ask your doctor about it. Usually, you have to be very careful about topical treatments in the genital area since chemicals may have a harmful effect. While it works for everybody, do ask your doctor if there are any effects related to long term use of the medicine since you would use it everytime you feel an outbreak coming on.
Secondly, using Medavir will stop herpes breakdown but not cure it completely. There is no permanent cure for herpes but if you can prevent its outbreak, I think it is just as good. This is because the virus lies dormant in cells where the antibodies cannot reach them.
