I always thought I am a cautious person, well, until I got drunk and had a one-night stand with some girl and now I can't even remember her face. Anyway, it seems that I have developed some genital problems since that evening. What a night! And what is even worse, this herpes is recurring now, I had problems like this 2 years ago. Anyway, I am dealing with herpes issues now and Famvir was recommended as suppressive therapy. Is it any good?

Famvir (or famciclovir) is in a form of tablets and as far as I know, it can be acquired only via prescription. It is used only for treating conditions like recurring genital herpes, cold sores (in people with normal immune response), for shingles and infection by herpes simplex. You have to know that even under the therapy, you could pass herpes to your sexual partner, so be aware!
