Description
Famciclovir is used to treat herpes zoster (shingles) and genital herpes. It does not cure herpes infections but decreases pain and itching, helps sores to heal, and prevents new ones from forming.

What special precautions should I follow?
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor will order certain lab tests to check your response to famciclovir. Do not have sexual intercourse when you can see the
genital herpes lesions. However, genital herpes can be spread even when there are no symptoms.

Missed Dose
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for the next regularly scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and take the next one as directed. Do not take a double dose of
this medication unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
