Famciclovir Oral Notes

To reduce the risk of spreading herpes to others, stop all sexual activity during an outbreak until it is completely healed. Always use effective barrier protections (e.g., latex or polyurethane condoms, dental dams) during all sexual activity. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.

If you have a shingles outbreak, you should not be around pregnant women who have never had chickenpox (caused by the same virus that causes shingles). If a pregnant woman is exposed to you while you have an outbreak, she should contact her doctor immediately.

Do not share this medication with others.
