More
Information
Treatment with Famvir should
be started as soon as possible
after the first appearance of
symptoms (e.g. tingling,
burning, blisters). Take all of
the Famvir that has been
prescribed for you even if you
begin to feel better. Your
symptoms may start to improve
before the infection is
completely treated. Herpes
infections are contagious and
you can infect other people,
even during treatment. Avoid
letting infected areas come into
contact with other people. Wash
your hands frequently to prevent
transmission. For more
information, talk to your
doctor, pharmacist or health
care provider.
