[A] comparative in vitro study of the effects of irsha and chlorhexidine mouthwashes and acyclovir on HSV-1

ABSTRACT

Objective: Being able to cause disease in human, herpes simplex viruses [HSVs] clinically demonstrate themselves as intra-oral, extra-oral or recurrent lesions. The existing acyclovir has the selective anti-herpetic drug to control HSV infections. Due to emerged resistance to this drug and limitations of using it in especial situations, there is a need for alternative treatments such as available mouthwashes. This study aimed to compare two mouthwashes [Irsha and Chlorhexidine] with Acyclovir on HSV-1 in vitro
