Herpes Medicine Quick Comparison

Acyclovir (Generic Zovirax)

Famvir

Famvir medication is used to treat herpes zoster, commonly referred to as ""shingles," in adults. Shingles is a painful rash with raised, red pimples on the trunk of the body, usually the back. Because it is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox, only people who have had chickenpox can get shingles. When prescribed for shingles, Famvir works best in people age 50 or over.

Famvir is also prescribed to treat attacks of genital herpes and to prevent future flare-ups. For people with HIV infections, it is used as a treatment for both genital and oral herpes. [Buy Famvir and/or More Information]
