Famciclovir
別名: Famvir
* **Administration**: You can give this medication with or without food. If it causes stomach upset, giving it with a small treat or meal may help. * **Expectations**: Feline herpesvirus (FHV-1) is a lifelong condition. This medication helps control the active flare-up and reduce symptoms (like sneezing, eye discharge, and ulcers), but it does not cure the virus. Recurrences may still happen during times of stress. * **Monitoring**: Watch for signs of decreased appetite or increased thirst. Since experience with this drug in cats is still growing, please report any unusual side effects to your veterinarian immediately.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。
