Description
Famvir (famciclovir) is an antiviral drug. It slows the growth and spread of the herpes virus so that the body can fight off the infection. Famciclovir will not cure herpes, but it can lessen the symptoms of the infections. Famvir is used to treat infections caused by herpes viruses, including genital herpes, cold sores, and shingles. There is no cure for herpes and Famvir will not prevent you from developing symptoms in the future.
How To Take
Take Famvir exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label. Taking more of this medication will not make it more effective. Treatment with Famvir should be started as soon as possible after the first appearance of symptoms (such as tingling, burning, blisters). You may take Famvir with or without food. Take this medicine for the full prescribed length of time. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cleared. To prevent recurrent genital herpes, you may need to take this medicine twice daily for up to 1 year. Follow your doctor's instructions. Lesions caused by herpes viruses should be kept as clean and dry as possible. Wearing loose clothing may help to prevent irritation of the lesions. Store Famvir at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
Precaution
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction to Famvir: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Side Effects
Stop using Famvir and call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as: urinating less than usual or not at all; weakness, confusion, increased thirst, loss of appetite, vomiting, pounding heartbeats or fluttering in your chest; or swelling, weight gain, feeling short of breath. Less serious Famvir side effects may include: nausea, gas, stomach pain; diarrhea, headache, tired feeling; dizziness, sleepiness; mild itching or skin rash; or numbness or tingly feeling.
