What is Famciclovir?
Famciclovir is an antiviral medication that is commonly used in veterinary medicine to treat certain viral infections in animals. It is particularly effective against viruses such as feline herpesvirus and feline calicivirus in cats, as well as certain types of herpesvirus in dogs. Animals may need Famciclovir if they have been diagnosed with a viral infection that is susceptible to this medication. These infections can cause a range of symptoms, including respiratory issues, eye problems, and skin lesions. Famciclovir works by inhibiting the replication of the virus, helping to reduce the severity and duration of the infection. It is important to always follow the advice and prescription of a veterinarian when using Famciclovir or any other medication for your pet.
What problems could my pet have with Famciclovir?
While Famciclovir is generally considered safe and effective for treating viral infections in animals, there are some potential side effects and considerations to be aware of. Some pets may experience mild side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of appetite when taking Famciclovir. In rare cases, more serious side effects such as liver toxicity or allergic reactions may occur. It is important to monitor your pet closely while they are taking Famciclovir and to report any concerning symptoms to your veterinarian. Additionally, Famciclovir may interact with other medications your pet is taking, so it is important to inform your veterinarian of all medications and supplements your pet is currently receiving. Overall, Famciclovir is a valuable medication for treating certain viral infections in animals, but it is essential to use it under the guidance of a veterinarian to ensure the safety and well-being of your pet.
Is there anything I need to know about administering Famciclovir?
When administering Famciclovir to your pet, it is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your veterinarian carefully. Famciclovir is typically available in tablet form, and it is important to give the medication exactly as directed. You should not crush or break the tablets unless instructed to do so by your veterinarian. It is recommended to give Famciclovir with food to help reduce the risk of gastrointestinal upset. If your pet has difficulty swallowing the tablets, you can try hiding them in a small amount of food or a treat to make administration easier. Make sure to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by your veterinarian, even if your pet's symptoms improve before the medication is finished. Stopping the medication prematurely can lead to the re-emergence of the infection or the development of resistance to the medication. If you have any concerns or questions about administering Famciclovir to your pet, do not hesitate to contact your veterinarian for guidance and clarification. Your veterinarian is the best resource for ensuring the proper and safe use of this medication for your pet's specific condition.
Important information to know when ordering prescription medicines
A prescription is required from your veterinarian before we can supply this product.
If this is a new prescription, to enable immediate dispensing, please ask the vet to send a copy of the prescription to us prior to mailing it.
If the original prescription is in your possession, then please upload this to your pet's profile in VetRx prior to mailing it.
Please note that we must receive either a copy of the prescription from the vet, or the original prescription before we can dispatch your order. This does unfortunately add to the order processing time, however this is a requirement placed upon all pharmacies by the Health Regulators.
Only once a conformant electronic prescription system is approved by NSW Health, will we be able to end the need for paper prescriptions.
