- W2079697277 abstract "Herpes virus infections impose considerable morbidity in immunocompetent patients, with 22% of adults in developed countries having been infected with herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) and four cases per 1000 individuals of symptomatic varicella zoster virus (VZV) infections estimated per year.1,2 Symptoms from both HSV and VZV can be effectively reduced with acyclovir therapy. More recently valaciclovir (GlaxoSmithKline, Brentford, London, UK) and famciclovir (Novartis, Basel, Switzerland) have shown similar efficacy in these conditions, with more favourable dosing schedules than acyclovir.3–6 The usage of these two drugs imposes a considerable financial burden on the public healthcare system, with initial treatment courses for HSV costing $A104.51 for valaciclovir and $A135.79 for famciclovir compared to $A89.31 for acyclovir – see http://www.pbs.gov. au/html/healthpro/search/ (accessed 26 April 2007). The Australian Health Insurance Commission spent $A27 816 155 and $A41 761 426 on famciclovir and valaciclovir respectively in the last financial year for HVS-2 and VZV management – see http://www.medicareaustralia.gov.au/statistics/ (accessed 26 April 2007). We therefore sought to determine if there was a perception of differential efficacy between these two commonly prescribed drugs and to determine which clinical characteristics might influence prescribing. In September 2003, an attitudinal survey was undertaken involving 632 metropolitan based primary care clinicians across Australia. The survey questions were prepared by the authors based on published clinical variables that might influence treatment responses, with the survey delivered to clinicians by product representatives from Novartis. The following research questions were asked: ‘Did the clinician believe that either famciclovir or valaciclovir had greater efficacy in certain patients?’ and ‘If so, what patient characteristics were thought to account for this difference (e.g. age, gender, number of episodes, severity or others)?’ This question was asked separately for patients with genital herpes and herpes zoster. Responses were collected by the product representatives within the following 2 weeks and forwarded to the authors for analysis." @default.
