doctors advice.
What Is Famvir?
Famvir is the brandname for Famciclovir, manufactured by Novartis.
Famciclovir is a prodrug of the antiviral agent Penciclovir. Penciclovir
doesn't absorb well orally. Famciclovir will convert into Penciclovir
once absorbed in the body which will then act as an antiviral agent.
Famciclovir is a tablet used to treat Herpes Simplex 2 (Genital Herpes)
and shingles, caused Varicella Herpes Zoster. It remains in the body
longer than other antiviral agents such as Acyclovir which means
that you don't have to take it so often and that the effects wil be
longer lasting. This means that in the long run the risk of developing
resistance to Famciclovir / Penciclovir is reduced.

- Herpes Simplex 1: Causes Oral Herpes also known

- Varicella Herpes Zoster: Causes chickenpox
and shingles
Famciclovir is a prodrug of Penciclovir. Penciclovir is an
antiviral agent but as it absorbs poorly orally it is not very
efficient when used a an orally administered drug. Famciclovir
converts to Penciclovir which releases in the body after absorption
and then it is active against the Herpes virus. Penciclovir works by
inhibiting the reproduction of Herpes. When used as a preventive
treatment, it will help keep the virus latent and reduce shedding
of contagious virus. When used episodically it will reduce the severity,
duration and frequency of outbreaks.
