How does Famvir work?

Famvir works by blocking the replication of the herpes virus, helping to reduce symptoms and speed up healing. It’s best when taken at the first sign of an outbreak for it to be effective. 

 

Does Famvir cure herpes?

No, Famvir does not cure herpes. It helps to manage outbreaks, reduce the severity and duration of symptoms, and may lower the risk of spreading the virus.

 

What activities must be avoided after taking the Famvir tablet?

Famvir could make you drowsy, dizzy or disoriented, and one must avoid driving, operating heavy machinery or doing any activity that requires alertness. 

 

What happens if you stop taking the antiviral medication?

If you skip prescribed doses of an antiviral or end treatment prematurely, the virus may begin to multiply again. During this replication, changes or mutations in the virus’s genetic material can occur.

 

How to Use

 

Take a tablet 2-3 times a day depending on your condition and doctor’s advice.
Swallow the tablet with a glass of water.
Famvir could be had with or without food.

FAQ

Taking too many Famvir tablets could adversely affect your kidneys.

If you miss your dose or do not take your medication on schedule, Famciclovir may not work as effectively or may stop working altogether.

While the Famvir tablet does not weaken the immune system, it is advisable to inform your doctor about an already weakened system due to other health conditions.

Common side effects may include headache, nausea, diarrhea, and dizziness. Most side effects are mild and temporary. If you experience severe side effects, such as difficulty breathing or a rash, contact your doctor immediately.

Famvir should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefits outweigh the risks. If you are breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using Famvir, as it is unclear whether it passes into breast milk.

If you miss a dose of Famvir, take it as soon as you remember. If it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose—do not take two doses at once to make up for a missed dose.

People with severe kidney problems should use Famvir with caution or avoid it, depending on the severity of their condition. Always consult your doctor if you have any pre-existing health conditions or are taking other medications.

No, Famvir cannot cure herpes infections. It helps reduce the severity and duration of symptoms and can prevent outbreaks from occurring, but the herpes virus remains in the body.

Famvir may interact with other medications, particularly those affecting kidney function or other antivirals. Always inform your doctor about any other medications or supplements you are taking to avoid potential interactions.

If you experience signs of an allergic reaction, such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention. Do not continue taking Famvir if you have a known allergy to it.
