Product Details

The medication Famvir belongs to a class of medicines known as anti-viral medications and is used to treat a number of viral infections such as herpes zoster and genital herpes. It acts by stopping the virus from multiplying and reproducing. It does not stop the virus from spreading herpes to another person. This medication should be taken as early as possible when you know an outbreak is starting. Although Famvir does not help in curing the viral infection, it helps to shorten the duration of symptoms while alleviating the severity of symptoms and allowing the infections to heal faster.

Some less serious side effects of Famvir may feeling sick, headache, confusion, dizziness, drowsiness (usually in elder people), hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that are not really there), vomiting, yellowing of the skin and eyes, abnormal liver function results, palpitations (Signs of abnormal heartbeat), skin rashes, itching or blistering, diarrhea, tiredness and abdominal pain.

• Serious skin reactions
