    I'm thinking about making the switch over. Could you tell me what generic brand you're taking and how it's working for you? Dosage?

    TIA!

    Hi,

    Teva was what I used for about 8 months.

    Good luck!

    Teva is my brand of famciclovir. I take one 500-mg tablet once a day.

    I don't know my brand name....do I need to ask my pharmacist or am I missing something on the label?

    I was at 750mg/day (250x3 spread out over day). I did this dose for 4 months. Just increased to 500x3 spread out over day. Doing MUCH better after 2 weeks.

    Gacek says 500x3, then 500x2, then 500x1 maintenance. I did the 750/day as a stepping stone to 500x1. Then the flare.
