Genital Herpes Treatment Options

Medical genital herpes treatment is based primarily on two antiviral medications, Valtrex and Famvir. Valtrex is recommended mostly for patients who suffer from herpes for the first time, whereas Famvir is more effective to deal with episodic genital herpes outbreaks.

Famvir Famvir is a suppressive antiviral prescription medication for genital herpes, a condition caused by the herpes simplex virus. It can also shorten the symptoms of recurrent herpes outbreaks. Famvir tablets contain famciclovir as the active ingredient. It is a prodrug which breaks down after it enters your body and gets converted into a different antiviral drug called penciclovir. This agent prevents the replication of infected cells, preventing the herpes virus from spreading to healthy cells. Genital herpes is a highly infectious condition which can easily be passed on from one individual to another through vaginal, anal or oral sex. Once infected, the herpes simplex virus stays permanently in your body and cannot be eliminated. But the good news is that this condition can be dealt with effectively with Famvir tablets. Famvir tablets can also be used for the treatment of cold sores and shingles. Famvir Dosage Famvir 500mg is the most commonly prescribed dosage for combating a recurrent genital herpes outbreak. It should be taken at the first sign of symptoms to prevent a full-blown herpes attack. Take two 500mg pills at the onset of symptoms, and follow it up with two more pills of the same strength 12 hours later. Famvir 125mg and Famvir 250mg dosages are more suited for long term treatment. These smaller dosages can be used to prevent the infection from reappearing in the future. Our doctors can recommend which Famvir dosage is best suited for you.		Buy Famvir
