Description

VIROVIR 500 Tablet contains Famciclovir 500 mg, an antiviral medicine used to treat infections caused by the herpes virus. It works by preventing the virus from multiplying, helping to reduce the severity and duration of symptoms while promoting faster healing of skin lesions and blisters. It is commonly prescribed for shingles (herpes zoster), genital herpes, recurrent herpes simplex infections, and cold sores (herpes labialis).
