Famvir (famciclovir) "Famvir works the best. I have a lot less breakouts, and when one is coming on I take it and it is gone within a day. I don't have any side effects like I did with the others (headaches and breakouts). It is worth the money."

Famvir (famciclovir) "Dr ordered tests which revealed Epstein Barr, Parvovirus, and Herpes Virus (forgot the number). He put me on 500mg 3 times a day. I’ve only been on it three months so I don’t know effectiveness. I had genital herpes outbreaks fifteen years ago for about a year but none since. I started the medication and had severe headaches that went away after three weeks. No other side effects"

"I am in my 60's and used Ezovir (famciclovir) to suppress the cold sores that I have suffered from since I was about 3. This treatment was used in conjunction with injectable lip fillers (to prevent an outbreak) as over the years my lips have lost their pigmentation and thinned -so I look like a Muppet! I used this medication twice and felt slightly odd but thought maybe I was imagining it, but today (the third time) my pulse started racing and I felt so awful that someone had to come and collect me after treatment as I felt driving was unwise; that was 5 hrs ago and I'm much better but not 100%. I'm pretty fit and healthy with no known allergies, so I guess this medicine is not for me."
