Famvir ® is manufactured by Novartis.

Chemical Name : Famciclovir

Important Note
The following information is intended to supplement, not substitute for, the expertise and judgment of your physician, pharmacist or other healthcare professional. It should not be construed to indicate that use of the drug is safe, appropriate, or effective for you. Consult your healthcare professional before using this drug.

Uses
After the initial outbreak* of genital herpes, Famvir ( Famciclovir ) can be prescribed in one of three ways:

  • Episodic treatment - your doctor treats an outbreak of genital herpes as it occurs. The usual dose of Famvir is one 125-mg pill, twice a day, for 5 days.?

  • Suppressive treatment ? if you have frequent or severe outbreaks, you take one 250-mg pill, twice a day, for up to 1 year?? to suppress the genital herpes virus and help to prevent outbreaks.

  • Patients with HIV - Famvir is the only prescription oral antiviral therapy indicated for treating genital or orolabial herpes in people infected with HIV. In patients with herpes simplex and HIV, the dose of Famvir is 500 mg, twice a day, for 7 days.?

Famvir ( Famciclovir ) can be taken with or without food.

When discussing treatment options with your doctor, be sure to discuss your lifestyle, how you feel about outbreaks, the pain and severity of your symptoms, and the frequency of your outbreaks. Be sure to talk with your doctor about the type of treatment (episodic or suppressive) that would be most appropriate for you.

For episodic and suppressive treatment, always take your medicine as prescribed by your doctor. If you are taking any other prescription or over-the-counter medications, please be sure to tell your doctor. No medication has been proven to prevent the transmission of genital herpes. It's important to know that Famvir ( Famciclovir ) will not prevent the spread of genital herpes to others. During an outbreak, you must avoid sexual contact, and use a condom in between outbreaks.

Efficacy of Famvir

  • Episodic Treatment
    One clinical study showed that episodic treatment with Famvir ( Famciclovir ) significantly relieved all of the symptoms of a genital herpes outbreak. For many people, the duration of the symptoms associated with genital herpes, pain, burning, itching, and tenderness, was reduced. These same people also experienced a faster healing of sores compared to those taking a sugar pill.

  • Suppressive Treatment
    Many people on twice-daily suppressive therapy with Famvir ( Famciclovir ) may go almost a year without experiencing an outbreak.

Side Effects and Other Important Information
Famvir ( Famciclovir ) should not be taken by patients with known hypersensitivity to the product, its components, and Denavir ® (penciclovir cream).

Famvir ( Famciclovir ) has no clinically significant interactions with cimetidine, allopurinol, theophylline, digoxin, or zidovudine (AZT).

Concurrent use of Famvir ( Famciclovir ) with probenecid or other drugs significantly eliminated by active renal tubular secretion may result in increased plasma concentrations of penciclovir.

Famvir ( Famciclovir ) does not contain any dyes.

Famvir ( Famciclovir ) is not for everyone. In clinical studies with Famvir ( Famciclovir ), the most commonly reported side effects included headache, nausea, and diarrhea. Ask your doctor if Famvir ( Famciclovir ) is right for you. If you have kidney problems, your doctor will determine if Famvir ( Famciclovir ) is appropriate, and if so, what the right dose is for you. See the full Prescribing Information for more information about Famvir ( Famciclovir ).

The efficacy of Famvir ( Famciclovir ) has not been established for the treatment of an initial outbreak of genital herpes infection. If you have impaired kidney function, your doctor will determine the appropriate dose for you. The safety and efficacy of Famvir ( Famciclovir ) therapy beyond 1 year of treatment have not been established.

No antiviral has been proven to prevent the transmission of genital herpes. There is no cure for genital herpes.

 Treatment for Shingles : There are several effective treatments for shingles. Drugs that fight viruses (antivirals), such as acyclovir (Zovirax) or famciclovir (Famvir) can reduce the duration of the rash if started early (within 48 hours of the appearance of the rash). The addition of steroids may also limit the length of time that a patient has pain with shingles. However, the benefit of both of these drugs is limited. In addition to antiviral medication, pain medications may be needed for symptom control. The affected area should be kept covered and dry. However, bathing is permitted and the area can be cleansed with soap and water. An aluminum acetate solution (Burows or Domeboro's solution, available at your pharmacy) can be used to help dry up the blisters and oozing.

Fever Blisters A small sore situated on the face or in the mouth that causes pain, burning, or itching before bursting and crusting over. The favorite locations are on the lips, chin or cheeks and in the nostrils. Less frequented sites are the gums or roof of the mouth. Fever blisters are caused by herpes simplex virus type 1. It lies latent (dormant) in the body and is reawakened (reactivated) by factors such as stress, sunburn, or fever from a wide range of infectious diseases including colds. Recurrences are less common after age 35. Sunscreen (SPF 15 or more) on the lips prevents recurrences of herpes from sunburn. The virus is highly contagious when fever blisters are present. It is spread by kissing. Children become infected by contact with someone who has a fever blister and then they spread the virus by rubbing their cold sore and touching other children. A person with fever blisters should be careful not to touch the blisters and spread the virus to new sites, such as the eyes or genitals. There is no cure for fever blisters. Medications that can relieve some of the pain and discomfort include ointments that numb the blisters, antibiotics that control secondary bacterial infections, and ointments that soften the crests of the sores. Acyclovir, an antiviral drug, prevents the herpes simplex virus from multiplying and, in pill form, has been reported to reduce the symptoms and frequency of recurrence. Fever blisters have plagued people for thousands of years. In ancient Rome, an epidemic of fever blisters prompted Emperor Tiberius to ban kissing in public ceremonies. Today, fever blisters still occur in epidemic proportions. About 100 million episodes of recurrent fever blisters occur yearly in the United States alone. Fever blisters are also called cold sores, labial herpes (herpes labialis, in Latin) and febrile herpes (herpes febrilis, in Latin).

Herpes simplex infections are common, unsightly, and embarrassing. When they appear in their most common location, around the mouth and lips, people often refer to them as "cold sores" and "fever blisters." The herpes virus has two forms called - type I and type II. In general, type I infections occur above the waist, while type II infections occur below the waist. Type II infections are associated with genital herpes. However, the distinction between types I and II herpes is not absolute. Clinically, the distinction doesn't matter a great deal since a determination between the two types plays no role in diagnosing and treating people with herpes infections in everyday practice. The most striking characteristic of herpes infections, no matter where they occur on the body, is their tendency to recur in more or less the same place. Such recurrences may happen often (for example, once a month) or only occasionally (for example, once or twice a year). The tendency of this virus to establish itself in the nerve collections (called ganglia) under the skin is responsible for the recurrences. Repeated episodes occur when the virus is reactivated by: Fever; Systemic (body-wide) infection;, Ultraviolet radiation (like a sunburn); Stress; hanges in the immune system; Trauma.

Genital herpes: A viral infection transmitted through intimate contact with the moist mucous linings of the genitals. This contact can involve the mouth, the vagina or the genital skin. The herpes simplex type 2 (HSV-2) enters the mucous membranes through microscopic tears. Once inside the body, HSV-2 travels to nerve roots near the spinal cord and settles there permanently. When an infected person has a herpes outbreak, the virus travels down the nerve fibers to the site of the original infection and when it reaches the skin, the classic redness and blisters occur. Outbreaks of genital herpes are closely related to the functioning of the immune system. Women who have suppressed immune systems, either through stress, disease, or medications, have more frequent and longer-lasting outbreaks. The antiviral drug valacyclovir (Valtrex), taken once a day, has been found to reduce the shedding of HSV-2 on genital mucosal surfaces and to reduce the rate of transmission of genital herpes among discordant couples (couples in which one partner is HSV-2-positive and the other is HSV-2-negative). The US Food and Drug Administration approved the use of valacyclovir (Valtrex) for the prevention of sexual transmission of HSV infection. Results of nationally representative study show that genital herpes infection is common in the United States. Nationwide, 45 million people ages 12 and older, or one out of five of the total adolescent and adult population, are infected with genital herpes (herpes simplex virus type-2).
