1. What is Famvir and what is it used for

Famvir is an antiviral medicine. It stops the infecting virus from multiplying. Since the virus reproduces in a very early stage of infection, you will benefit more from treatment if you start taking Famvir after the first symptoms appear.

Famvir is used to treat two types of viral infections in adults:

  • Herpes zoster, a viral infection caused by a virus called varicella-zoster (the same virus that causes chickenpox). Famvir stops the virus from spreading in the body, so healing occurs more quickly.
  • Famvir is also used to treat herpes zoster in the area around the eye or even in the eye itself (herpes zoster ophthalmicus).
  • Genital herpes. Genital herpes is a viral infection caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 or 2. It is usually spread by sexual contact. It causes blisters and a burning or itching sensation around the genitals, which can be painful. Famvir is used to treat genital herpes infections in adults. People who have frequent episodes of genital herpes can also take Famvir to help prevent their recurrence.
