Previous message: sanbonav@tin.it: "Re: new case;labor is also a uterine muscolar work" Maybe in reply to: M.S,M.D: "Zovirax / Valtrex beyond" Because of a patient with this very question, back in '93 (Zovirax), I wrote a letter to the company requesting any info they had on prolonged "suppressive" therapy. The response from the R&D division was that at that time, they had a group of patients that had been on continuous suppression for seven years without any untoward effects. Based on this unpublished communication, I have not hesitated in providing suppression for prolonged periods. I do agree with Joe completely though regarding taking a honeymoon from the med occasionally to see if the patient continues to get recurrences... Lynn -- Lynn D.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
