Famvir (famciclovir) herpes medication side effects

Famvir tablets are used to treat herpes zoster, commonly referred to as "shingles," in adults. As with any medicine, side effects are possible with Famvir (famciclovir); however, not everyone who takes the medication will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well. If side effects do occur, in most cases they are minor and either require no treatment or can easily be treated by you or your healthcare provider.

Famvir has been studied thoroughly in clinical trials. In these studies, the side effects that occur in a group of people taking the drug are documented and are then compared to side effects that occur in another group of people not taking the medicine. This way, it is possible to see what side effects occur, how often they appear, and how they compare to the group not taking the medicine.

In these studies, some of the most common side effects of Famvir included:

* Headaches - in up to 22.7 percent of people
* Nausea - up to 12.5 percent
* Diarrhea - up to 7.7 percent
* Painful menstrual cramps - up to 7.6 percent
* Vomiting - up to 4.8 percent
* Fatigue - up to 4.8 percent
* Gas - up to 4.8 percent.
