Famvir is an antiviral medication used to treat herpes simplex viruses, including genital herpes (herpes simplex strain 2, HSV-2) and varicella zoster virus (VZV, herpes zoster), which causes shingles and ophthalmic zoster (shingles in the eye).
You can use this medication to prevent outbreaks and also to relieve symptoms. If you start taking the pills as soon as you notice symptoms, you can significantly reduce the time it takes for the infection to go away, often within 1-2 days.
It is an oral prescription in the form of capsules that can offer relief from unpleasant blisters within 24 hours as well as significantly reduce the duration of your outbreak. Treatment is most effective when used at the first sign of infection.
Famvir is available in three different doses (125, 250 and 500mg) at Allschoolabs for the treatment of genital herpes and shingles.
