A member asked:
I've been prescribed famciclovir 3 times a day. how many hours should be between each time i take the medicine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doesn't matter: Roughly every 8 hours, but it doesn't really matter. Take a dose at bedtime, when you wake up, and about half way between those times. It won't matter if some doses are 1-2 hours early or late.
