FLOCLOVIR 250 Famciclovir (250mg) Overview FLOCLOVIR contains 250 milligrams of Famciclovir, an antiviral medication used to treat infections caused by herpes viruses. Famciclovir is a prodrug of penciclovir, which means it is converted into its active form, penciclovir, in the body. It is effective against herpes simplex virus (HSV) types 1 and 2, varicella-zoster virus (VZV), and herpes zoster (shingles). Uses Herpes Zoster (Shingles): FLOCLOVIR is used to treat shingles, which is caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus. It helps reduce pain and accelerate healing of the rash. Genital Herpes: This medication is effective in treating outbreaks of genital herpes (HSV-2). It reduces the severity and duration of symptoms and can also be used for suppressive therapy to reduce the frequency of outbreaks. Cold Sores (Herpes Labialis): FLOCLOVIR can be used to treat cold sores caused by HSV-1, shortening the healing time and reducing the duration of pain. Herpes Simplex in Immunocompromised Patients: It is used to treat and prevent herpes simplex infections in immunocompromised individuals, helping to manage symptoms and prevent severe complications. Dosage and Administration Herpes Zoster: The typical dosage for treating shingles is 500 mg three times daily for 7 days. Genital Herpes: For initial episodes, 250 mg three times daily for 5-10 days. For recurrent episodes, 125 mg twice daily for 5 days. Suppressive Therapy: 250 mg twice daily to reduce the frequency of genital herpes outbreaks. Herpes Labialis: 500 mg twice daily for one day. Administration: FLOCLOVIR tablets should be taken orally with or without food. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment to ensure effectiveness. Mechanism of Action Famciclovir is converted into penciclovir in the body, which selectively inhibits viral DNA polymerase. This action blocks the replication of viral DNA, thereby preventing the virus from multiplying and spreading. Side Effects Common Side Effects: Include headache, nausea, diarrhea, and fatigue. These side effects are generally mild and temporary. Serious Side Effects: Rarely, serious side effects such as allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, difficulty breathing), confusion, and jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes) may occur. Seek immediate medical attention if these symptoms develop. Allergic Reactions: Symptoms may include rash, itching, swelling, and difficulty breathing. Discontinue use and seek medical attention if these symptoms develop. Precautions Medical History: Inform your healthcare provider about your complete medical history, particularly if you have kidney disease, liver disease, or any allergies. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: The safety of FLOCLOVIR during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been fully established. Consult your healthcare provider before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Drug Interactions: Famciclovir may interact with other medications, including probenecid. Always inform your healthcare provider about all the medications and supplements you are taking to avoid adverse interactions. Monitoring Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is recommended to monitor your response to the medication and adjust the dosage if necessary. Keep track of any side effects and report them promptly.
