Scientific Evidence:

Famvir (famciclovir) has been extensively studied for its efficacy in the treatment of herpes zoster and genital herpes. Clinical trials have shown that Famvir can significantly reduce the duration of shingles pain and accelerate the healing of herpes lesions when compared to placebo.

Additional Information:

Famvir works by being converted into penciclovir in the body, which inhibits the replication of herpes viruses. This mechanism of action makes it an effective antiviral medication for the management of herpes infections.

Compared to similar antiviral drugs, Famvir has been found to have a longer duration of action, allowing for less frequent dosing and improved patient compliance.
