How To Use Famvir?

Famvir (famciclovir) is prescribed to people who are suffering from an attack of the herpes virus. In spite of doctors instructing patients to use this drug in the prescribed manner, people make mistakes, which can create immediate or long-term health complications. Taking this medication in strengths higher than prescribed or for a longer period of time will increase the risk of side effects. Famvir does not eliminate the herpes virus from the body but it certainly helps you reduce the pain associated with the infection.

You should start herpes treatment with Famvir as soon as you notice symptoms such as blisters, burning and tingling. Take each tablet with a full glass of water and keep on drinking water frequently so that your body can adjust to the new drug. Also, frequent intake of water can keep your kidneys working properly. You can use this drug with or without food. In case your stomach becomes upset, try taking the drug with food as that will reduce the risk of stomach upset.

Use famciclovir tablets for the entire length of time as prescribed by your doctor. At times, your symptoms will get better even before the course of treatment is over but still you should use it as prescribed. Famvir will not treat any viral infection such as flu or common cold. This drug is specifically designed for the treatment of female and male sexual health. You need to keep the blisters as dry as possible so that you can treat the infection with greater efficiency. Cold sores treatment with Famvir is best if you start it within a few hours from noticing the first symptoms.

Treat Genital Warts With Antivirals

Genital warts are one of the most commonly experienced sexually transmitted viral infections, which are caused by strains of the human papilloma virus (HPV). The warts appear in the form of small growths of flesh on your skin. Viral infections are highly infectious, but unlike bacterial infections, cannot be cured completely. However, they can fortunately be treated with the help of antiviral medications. The three most popular prescription medications that are commonly used for treating genital warts are Aldara, Warticon and Condyline.

Aldara is one of the most effective and commonly used antiviral treatments for genital warts, and is available in a cream form. This cream, apart from treating genital warts, can also be used for treating other skin conditions. Condyline is another antiviral medication, which is a podophyllotoxin solution, which has been proven to be an effective treatment for genital warts. This antiviral is available in a 3.5ml dosage, which you are supposed to apply directly to the infected area.

This solution has been proven to be a safe medication for adults as well as older people, but it should be avoided by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Usually Condyline is a well-tolerated medication but it can also cause certain side effects such as dizziness, vomiting and inflammation or stinging on the infected area. Warticon is also an antiviral medication, which is the cream version of the podophyllotoxin solution Condyline, and has been proven to be very effective. You need to apply the Warticon cream to the infected area twice a day for three consecutive days.
