What brand names is famciclovir 500 sold under?

Famciclovir tablets in the 500 mg strength are marketed under different brand names depending on the country. Common U.S. usage is tied to the brand Famvir (famciclovir) for 500 mg tablets.

Is “famciclovir 500” the same medicine as Famvir 500?

Yes. “Famciclovir 500” refers to a dose of the active ingredient famciclovir at 500 mg. If a product is marketed as Famvir 500, it is the same drug (famciclovir) at that strength.

Are there other brands besides Famvir?

Brand availability varies by region and by manufacturer, so other names may exist outside the U.S. If you tell me your country (or share the exact label wording), I can match the brand name used where you are.

What should I check on the label to be sure?

Look for “famciclovir” as the active ingredient and confirm the strength is 500 mg. Brand names can differ, but the active ingredient and dose should match.
