Herpes zoster: treatment with cimetidine.

Abstract

The active phase of herpes zoster can be predicted from the length of time it takes for all the vesicles to erupt. A case is reported in which cimetidine therapy appeared to reduce the expected length of the active phase from 35 days or longer to 10 days.
