Famciclovir

Famciclovir is an antiviral medication primarily used for the treatment of infections caused by the herpes virus, including genital herpes and shingles (herpes zoster). It works by inhibiting the replication of the virus, helping to reduce the severity and duration of symptoms. Famciclovir is available in tablet form and is typically prescribed for a period of 5 to 7 days. It is important to follow the dosage and duration as directed by a healthcare professional to ensure effective treatment and prevent the development of resistance. As an antiviral medication, Famciclovir does not cure herpes infections but helps to manage the symptoms and reduce the likelihood of outbreaks.
