PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 4days

Population: The full analysis set(FAS).The FAS was defined as patients who were diagnosed with herpes zoster at the time of case registration, who subsequently received the study drugs, and had any efficacy variable measured.

The investigator assessed the Number of rashes (erythemas/papulae and vesicles/pustules). The "new lesion formation" was defined as the state in which the number of rashes is increasing.

We defined the following state as "Complete crusting". 1. A condition where all lesions of erythemas/papulae, vesicles/pustules, and erosions/ulcers have disappeared, and all rashes are crusted (epithelialization of the base of crusts is not required). 2. In subjects with no formation of vesicles or pustules, a condition where all lesions of erythemas/papulae have disappeared.

We defined the following state as "Healing". 1. A condition where all lesions of erythemas/papulae, vesicles/pustules, and erosions/ulcers have disappeared, and complete disappearance of crusts or complete epithelialization of the base of crusts are considered to have been achieved. 2. In subjects with no formation of vesicles or pustules, a condition where all lesions of erythemas/papulae have disappeared

Investigators assessed the pain using NRS. The date of pain resolution is defined as the first day when all NRS scores are rated as 2 or less, and such scores are continuously observed until Day 92 or discontinuation visit.
