[Clinical experience with Hevizos ointment].
After a brief summary of the effects of Hevizos ointment, major clinical studies conducted in Hungary are described. In a double-blind comparative clinical study involving the dermatological departments of three medical universities, Hevizos has been found more effective than Virungent ointment in herpes simplex labials and herpes zoster. In herpes genitalis the two products were of identical efficacy. Both Hevizos and Virungent proved to be more effective than placebo in all three indications. By the evidence of an open clinical trial Hevizos is not superseded by Zovirax ointment: confirmation of these findings in a double-blind study is underway.
