My wife got a prescription for an ointment to treat her genital herpes from her doctor, but this was years ago, we have not been able to afford to see a doctor to get a prescription for the medication or afford to fill a prescription which was very expensive. We were hoping that in the intervening years that maybe this medication might be available over the counter or at least less expensive, the problem is we cannot remember the name of the ointment. I do remember that around the time my wife was getting treatment i had heard that they had came up with an oral medication( a pill) that had almost the same name as the ointment. is there any chance you would know the name of this ointment or of any over the counter treatment that would be of any help with genital herpes outbreaks?
