Famvir
Famvir is a very powerful anti-viral treatment specifically intended for the treatment of the herpes simplex and herpes zoster viruses. This treatment is effective in alleviating the uncomfortable symptoms of genital herpes, cold sores and shingles and can also help improve your recovery time.
If you struggle with regular outbreaks of genital herpes, you can also buy Famvir online to use as a preventative treatment, to keep the virus at bay over the long term.
Famvir is available in three strengths: 125mg, 250mg and 500mg. Which strength you take will depend on your condition and whether you are using it as a preventative treatment.
The 500mg dosage is more suited to treat an existing or expected outbreak of cold sores and genital herpes and shingles, while the lower 125mg and 250mg dosages are more effective when used to treat shingles or as a long term preventative treatment for genital herpes.
To treat shingles, genital herpes and cold sores effectively, Famvir should ideally be taken 48 hours after you notice the first symptoms.
You can buy Famvir online from euroClinix with free overnight delivery so that you can begin treatment as soon as possible. All you will have to do is fill out a straightforward online consultation when you place your order. This will ensure that our doctors can assess your condition accurately and possibly provide a prescription for the treatment you have chosen.
What are the benefits of using Famvir?
Famvir has a fast working anti-viral action that can stop further symptoms from appearing after just one day's treatment. It's at its most effective within 24 hours of you noticing the first symptoms, and may be less effective if taken more than 72 hours later. Famvir can make outbreaks of shingles, cold sores and genital herpes go away quicker and can help calm the symptoms, so that they are much less uncomfortable.
How does it work?
The main ingredient of Famvir is famciclovir. Famciclovir is a prodrug; it only changes into its active state, penciclovir, once it is ingested. Penciclovir acts quickly to block the actions of the enzymes responsible for the duplication of viral cells that spread from one healthy cell to another. Famvir keeps the virus from overpowering your body’s natural defences, giving your immune system time to fight back and drive the herpes virus back into its dormant state.
Who can use Famvir?
Famvir can be used by anyone aged 18 years or older who wants to treat the symptoms of cold sores, shingles and genital herpes. It has been proven to be especially effective in treating the herpes virus in people over 50.
Who can’t use Famvir?
Although most people can use Famvir safely, there are conditions and medications with which this medication cannot be taken. You should mention to your doctor if you have any of the following conditions, as you may not be able to use this treatment: severe lactose intolerance, kidney disease or liver disease; allergies to food, preservative or dye; if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; or if you are galactose intolerant. You should also mention any medications you are taking in your consultation.
How do you take Famvir?
The dosage that you will have to take will depend on your condition, but the sooner you take it, the faster you will be able to see results.
- To treat shingles, three Famvir 250mg tablets should be taken once daily, for seven days.
- To treat cold sores, take a single dose of three Famvir 500mg tablets.
- To stop a full outbreak of genital herpes, two Famvir 500mg tablets need to be taken as soon as you notice the first symptoms. Then take two more 500mg tablets 12 hours later. If taking this medication to treat a fully developed outbreak, two Famvir 250mg must be taken twice a day for seven days. Consult the doctor if you are interested in using this as a long term preventative treatment.
Are there any side effects?
Famvir is very well tolerated, which is why it is prescribed often to people over 50. Side effects usually tend to affect only a small number of people and they are mostly very mild and brief. The most common side effects include nausea and headache. Less than 8% of people may experience more uncommon side effects such as menstrual cramps, vomiting, diarrhoea, fatigue and cramps.
