Why use FAMVIR for genital herpes?

One clinical study showed that episodic treatment with prescription oral FAMVIR significantly relieved all of the symptoms of a genital herpes outbreak compared to placebo. In a clinical trial compared to placebo episodic treatment with prescription oral FAMVIR® (famciclovir) shortened the duration of pain, burning, and itching during an outbreak, and reduced viral shedding (clinical significance unknown).

Many patients on suppressive therapy with FAMVIR go nearly a year to first recurrence.

Why use FAMVIR for herpes zoster?

Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is severe, chronic pain, which can persist for a month, a year, or even a lifetime following the herpes zoster rash. FAMVIR has been proven to shorten the duration of PHN. One clinical study showed that the median time to resolution of PHN in patients age 50 or older was 63 days with FAMVIR vs 163 days with placebo. FAMVIR should be started within 72 hours of the first sign of the herpes zoster rash. The efficacy of treatment started more than 72 hours after rash onset has not been established. The efficacy of FAMVIR has not been established for the treatment of ophthalmic zoster, disseminated zoster, or in immunocompromised patients with herpes zoster.
