Hello,
Brivir (brivudine) is an alternative treatment option for shingles but you shouldn't take such a decision yourself. Let your doctor do it for you. Unfortunately I don't have enough information to provide more specific advice...
I hope I've answered your question. Please let me know if you need further assistance.
Kind Regards,
Dr Panagiotis Zografakis
