Famciclovir is an antiviral medication used to treat herpes zoster (shingles), genital herpes, and cold sores. It works by inhibiting viral DNA replication, thus preventing the virus from multiplying.

According to Drugs.com, potential drug interactions with Famciclovir include probenecid, cimetidine, and high-dose aspirin. Probenecid, a medication used to treat gout and kidney stones, can increase Famciclovir levels in the body, while cimetidine, an antacid, can decrease Famciclovir elimination from the body. High-dose aspirin may increase Famciclovir levels, leading to potential toxicity.
