Think dose of Famvir too low...

[Guest guest]

Hi, from reading this group for a long time, it is my understanding that if we

start a prescription anti-viral, the dosing should not be too low, otherwise it

will not effectively tamp down the viruses, and may in fact make them stronger?

Is this correct?

We just started Famvir for my 6 yr. old, 42 pounds.

In your guess-ti-mations, (I know you are not Dr.'s) do you think

2x a day at 250 mg is enough?

We were told 250 mg. 1x a day....

Thanks!
