We give our daughter 125mg twice a day. Hope this helps.

Hi

My almost 5 year old son weighs 18.5 kg (I think that comes out as about

47 lbs) and he gets 125mg Famvir twice a day. He probably weighed what

your son weighs when he started. When Dr G tried to reducethe dosage to

62.5 mg twice a day we noticed a significant regression.

Now that we are giving him Kutapressin, we are going to try and reduce the

dose again.

Our son also weighs 42 lbs and now takes a total of 250mg of Famvir daily.

He took Valtrex previously and had some behaviors (anxiety, hyperactivity)

that stopped with the Famvir. He is also doing very well on the total

regimen; I can't attribute it to any one thing.

Best,

Vicki

Re: Famvir dosage and frequency

My son is also 42 pounds and on Famvir. He takes it twice a day for a

total of 250mg per day. We, too, had a horrible time on Valtrex. The

Famvir has been absolutely amazing - it gave us back our little boy - he

is no longer spacy, he rarely has tantrums anymore and his sensory

integration dysfunction is much better. Good luck!

Thanks everyone who responded to my query regarding famvir dosage.

We had 's dosage raised, and I hope he continues to make progress.

Famvir is a prescription antiviral, so you'll have to discuss it's use with

your pediatrician! Good luck.
