FAMVIR
Treatment with
famciclovir should be started as soon as possible after the
first appearance of symptoms (e.g. tingling, burning, blisters).
Take all of the famciclovir that has been prescribed for you
even if you begin to feel better. Your symptoms may start
to improve before the infection is completely treated. Herpes
infections are contagious and you can infect other people,
even during treatment. Avoid letting infected areas come into
contact with other people. Wash your hands frequently to prevent
transmission.
WHAT
IS 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 shortens the length of time symptoms
are present. Famciclovir is used to treat infections caused
by herpes viruses including shingles, genital herpes, and
cold sores (in people with HIV)
HOW
TO TAKE FAMVIR
Take famciclovir exactly as directed by your doctor. If you
do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist, nurse,
or doctor to explain them to you. Treatment with famciclovir
should be started as soon as possible after the first appearance
of symptoms (e.g. tingling, burning, blisters). Take each
dose with a full glass of water. Famciclovir can be taken
with or without food. Taking famciclovir with food may decrease
stomach upset. Take all of the famciclovir that has been prescribed
for you even if you begin to feel better.
MISSED
DOSE
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if
it is almost time for the next regularly scheduled dose, skip
the missed dose and take the next one as directed. Do not
take a double dose of this medication unless otherwise directed
by your doctor.
OVER
DOSE
Seek emergency medical attention. A famciclovir overdose has
no known symptoms, but an overdose of acyclovir (Zovirax),
which is a similar drug, may cause seizures, hallucinations,
and kidney damage (decreased urine production).
