Famvir Information

What To Know
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 It

How To Use

production).

experience an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat;
