DESCRIPTION

Famciclovir is a prescription antiviral drug that treats the symptoms of cats who have FHV (feline herpes virus) or FVR (feline viral rhinotracheitis) infections. These conditions are feline herpesvirus-related infections of the upper respiratory system.

Key Benefits: This antiviral drug is a prescription-only formula known as a nucleoside analog DNA polymerase inhibitor. It prevents viruses from reproducing their DNA, which inhibits their ability to spread throughout the body of your cat.

Formulated For: For cats only.

How is Medication Given? Follow your veterinarian's directions when using this product.

What Results Can I Expect: Famciclovir treats feline herpes virus and feline viral rhinotracheitis symptoms in cats.

What Form Does Medication Come In? Tablet

Dose and Administration: Tablets are sold individually in strengths of 125, 250, and 500 mg.

    Digestive effects could be mitigated when Famciclovir is given with food. Hypersensitivity is also possible. If you believe your cat is having any type of reaction, discontinue use and notify your vet.
