How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Famciclovir). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Famciclovir is an orally administered prodrug of the anti-alpha herpes viral agent penciclovir [see Microbiology ( 12.4 )].
Penciclovir is predominantly eliminated unchanged by the kidney.
Penciclovir C max decreased approximately 50% and t max was delayed by 1.5 hours when a capsule formulation of famciclovir was administered with food (nutritional content was approximately 910 Kcal and 26% fat).
