Frequently asked questions

Is Famciclovir effective?
Yes, Famciclovir is effective when taken as prescribed by your doctor. Continue the medication for the full duration, even if symptoms improve, to prevent recurrence or worsening of the infection.
Can I get resistant to Famciclovir treatment?
Yes, resistance to Famciclovir has been reported in patients with advanced HIV or compromised immunity. If you are not responding to treatment, discuss the possibility of drug resistance with your doctor.
What if I forget to take a dose of Famciclovir?
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your schedule. Do not double the dose to compensate for the missed one.
Can I stop taking Famciclovir when I feel better?
No, do not discontinue Famciclovir without consulting your doctor, even if you feel better. Symptoms may improve before the infection is fully resolved, so complete the prescribed treatment course.
What are the serious side effects of Famciclovir?
Serious side effects are rare but require immediate medical attention. These include hives, severe rash, jaundice, unusual bruising or bleeding, loss of consciousness, seizures, difficulty breathing, hallucinations, and facial swelling.
Does Famciclovir prevent transmission of infection to others?
No, Famciclovir does not prevent the transmission of herpes infections. Infected individuals can still spread the virus, so avoid contact with infected areas, wash hands frequently, and practice safe sex, especially during outbreaks.
Do elderly patients need to be more careful while taking Famciclovir?
Yes, elderly patients (over 65) may experience more side effects due to slower kidney function. They should stay hydrated, have their kidney function monitored, and may require a lower dose while being observed for neurological issues.
What should I tell my doctor before starting treatment with Famciclovir?
Inform your doctor about any existing health issues, especially kidney or liver problems, as well as all medications you are taking. Also, disclose if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
What can happen if somebody takes more than the recommended dose of Famciclovir accidentally?
Accidental overdose of Famciclovir can lead to nausea, vomiting, confusion, and headache. Seek medical advice if an overdose occurs.
