Shingles is a common problem that increases in severity with age and lowered immunity.
An estimated 10 to 20 percent of cases involve the eye. In our study, Famvir was shown to be effective in the treatment of ophthalmic zoster. This is good news for patients because Famvir offers a more convenient treatment option than previous therapies, which may help increase compliance and improve the overall management of this disease. All patients were enrolled in the study within 72 hours of developing lesions. The study showed that Famvir was effective and well tolerated in reducing eye complications associated with ophthalmic shingles, including serious complications that can lead to blindness.
