Avatar m tn Several studies in humans and mice provide evidence that treatment with the antiviral drug Famciclovir soon after the first infection with herpes can significantly lower the chance of future symptomatic outbreaks of herpes. Use of Famciclovir in this manner has been shown to reduce the amount of latent herpes virus in the neural ganglia.[5][6][7] A review of human subjects treated for five days with Famciclovir 250 mg three times daily during their first herpes episode found that only 4.
Avatar f tn A week after contact I started experiencing numbness and an odd sensation on my fingertip. I immediately started famciclovir the next day (8 days post potential exposure) My finger still feels numb/ slightly cold/ very mildly swollen with red spots and hyperaensitivity at the tip (havent been touching anything with that finger) which is 1.5 weeks. I got a fever a few days ago which was 1 week after I felt potential symptoms and 2 weeks post potential exposure.
Avatar n tn So to be sure, he did a swab test that came back negative. He prescribed me famciclovir. After 3 weeks, the lesions were still there but smaller. So I went back at the clinic to see the same doctor. He made another swab test and the result was still negative (but I had take famciclovir 1 or 2 weeks before). The doctor didn't give me something else. He told me to take famciclovir for a second time. In total, lesions lasted for almost 4 weeks. No crust at anytime was formed.
Avatar m tn When I started prophylactic treatment with acyclovir, I saw a reduced occurrence for a few months, then they came back to about 4-5 outbreaks/year. I recently switched prophylactic medication from acyclovir to famciclovir, and had a 18-month period free from outbreak. Come yesterday, I had another terrible outbreak (worse than usual)... will these become more commonplace now? Is this a sign of HSV-resistance to the drug? Are there any other courses of action I can consider?
Avatar f tn I have had oral sex with my partner who has Genital Herpes 2 and I thought we did everything 'right' in preventing it being passed on to me. He hasn't had it for some time. I now have burning when going to the toilet, incredibly itchy skin and a few 'sore'. My doctor has taken a swab and is getting tested and gave my the 3 day internal canisten cream and i'm on tablets...Famciclovir 250mg twice a day. I've tried Vagisal....no go. I've tried Eylocaine Jelly...
Avatar m tn Just 1 week before sexual exposure, I had finished taking Famciclovir 250mg for HSV-1 outbreak. And it cured. After 123 days(4 months) from last risky sexual exposure and 130 days from FAMCICLOVIR completion, I took HSV2(IGM and IGG) test and it turned out negative. I did not got any symptoms on genital area. Can I consider this as confirmatory for HSV-2 in my body? Should I need to go for more test? if so when to take the test? It is 4 months now completed from risk.
Avatar m tn I've had HSV-1 since my college days. 15-20 years or so. I get outbreaks on and near my lips every few months, but after going on antivirals (Famciclovir 250 mg 2x/day) it's been lessened. My first question, being: if I have had the virus for this long, is there still a chance of me cross-contaminating myself with my own infection to other parts of MY body? (e.g., it's on lips to moving to my eyes, or hands, etc.
Avatar f tn Last I heard they were working to finalize the PI and establish pricing. PI will require FDA approval, pricing is another story.
1116669 tn?1269143266 00 out of pocket. B- I know that the labs in NYS do not advertise their prices for comparative pricing. And C- Of course I will have one at 48 weeks and 6 months later if still undetectable. But what about these remaining 2 (finally!!) 2 months? What would be the standard of practice if I were still insured? Would not having 1 between 24 and 48 weeks be unwise for anything other than anxiety reduction (I wish I could buy a PCR on ebay).
Avatar m tn One week prior to taking my hiv test i took Famciclovir for shingles would this interfeer with the results?
Avatar m tn But anti-viral medications like acyclovir, valacyclovir and famciclovir are known to shorten out breaks and improve symptoms. It depends on one’s immunity also. If it is good the person may have less number of reactivations. If the immunity is relative less than he is likely to have more symptoms. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar m tn Desperate to switch from viread to vemlidy due to hypertension and cholesterol issues. Pricing still quite high. Anyone know if cheaper generics are now available and how one can access?
Avatar f tn ) im not sure pricing for uk i live in florida but if the pricing is decent id say go for it :)

1130586 tn?1316266292 s against the wall and shoot them, but you can and should contact the FDA regarding the outrageous pricing. With worldwide sales, I can't see how Merck or Vertex will have to wait years to recoup their development costs for these drugs. We are as they say "at their mercy". Write to your congressman, FDA, and while you're at it, write to the White House...
Avatar n tn even though i have read that these drugs are not effective Hello, To prevent frequent recurrence of genital warts, one can take medicines like Acyclovir, famciclovir, and valacyclovir. This is known as suppressive therapy and is very much effective in preventing recurrences. My advice is to consult a dermatologist and get it prescribed. I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep us posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
Avatar m tn I was recently exposed to HSV-2, close contact but no intercourse. I recently lost 3 family members and the stress of contracting herpes might put me over the edge. I realize this has probably made me overly paranoid about contracting the virus, however, I'm considering post-exposure prophylaxis with Famciclovir. Is there any reason not to proceed (beyond the fact that it is considered "off-label" and not proven to suppress the virus)?
Avatar m tn I started suppression famciclovir over the weekend and had diahhrria 5 times the next day. Has this happend to anyoone else? Please share your side effects of any other meds or meds that gave no side effects. I have to call the doc and get something else.
