Abstract
In ophthalmic herpes, very frequent residual pain may be the cause of severe facial neuralgia which may persist for many years. These cases of neuralgia often occur in the elderly and raise difficult therapeutic problems. Tiapride which is a neuro-visceral mediator of the substituted benzamide family gave excellent results in 3 cases of ophthalmic herpes zoster in the elderly. The dosage was 200 to 300 mg daily by the intramuscular route, then by the oral route. Tolerance was excellent.
