About Famciclovir

Medications known as antivirals such as famciclovir will help to ease the uncomfortable and often embarrassing nature of a genital herpes outbreak, whilst also reducing the severity and length of it as well.  Such treatments work on groups of similar conditions as in the case of oral and genital herpes, as well as shingles, and they can help to stop the virus being so active within the body thus potentially reducing the number of episodes a patient may experience.

How does Famciclovir work?

Famciclovir falls into a family of drugs known as nucleotides which are agents used against a number of viral infections, including hepatitis B and C, as well as HIV and herpes.  They are antimetabolites which incorporate into the DNA of a virus and terminate its growth pattern, thus suppressing it and slowing down the regularity or severity of outbreaks and, in some cases, stopping them altogether.

Why choose Famciclovir?

The class of drug which famciclovir is found in stops the spread of herpes in the body by preventing the virus from replicating its own DNA, which it needs to do to spread and, in turn, cause a flare-up.  Famciclovir has a longer duration of action which means that it can be taken less often and still keep the required, effective level of the active drug in the system.

Another reason Famciclovir is a good choice for many people is that it is the generic version of the original branded version.  This means it has the same bioequivalence, containing the same active substance (famciclovir) in the same dosage, with the same administration route - in this case, oral - but for a lower cost.
