HERPES GENITALIS-A NEW HOPE=CANOVA ?

HERPES GENITALIS-A NEW HOPE=CANOVA ?

Recently a New Drugs-CANOVA-was tried for Herpes Genitalis at my Institute. We had selected two groups
  1. Group of Herpes Genitalis with Acyclovir therapy alone
  2. Group of Herpes Genitalis with Acyclovir and Canova Drops

  • both groups were having 12 patients each
  • all patients were male with age group 26 yrs-45 yrs
  • all were followed for 6 months
  • all were tested Serum IG M positive for HSV
  • All were HIV negative
  • All were non-Diabetics
Results were analysed and found following

  1. Patients with Acyclovir only shown relapse in 8 patients and were in constant need of acyclovir therapy again
  2. Group 2 patients only 2 patients showed relapse and were found more reassured
  3. At the end of 6 month follow Up no other adverse effects were noted in any of groups
  4. No further follow ups were done
Comments

This was a Primary study for this novel immune modulator at our institute
The Idea of publishing this Blog is to know from Other medical Colleagues or Patients regarding CANOVA - if they have studied it or has consumed it.It is widely available at USA, South Africa, India , Botswana, Germany at present

Kindly comment
