S. Tyring, R Engst, et al (Collaborative Famciclovir Ophthalmic Zoster Research Group)
Famciclovir for ophthalmic zoster: a randomized aciclovir controlled study.
Br.J.Ophthal, May 2001; 85: 576-581.
Famciclovir 500mg three times daily was well tolerated and demonstrated efficacy similar to aciclovir 800mg five times daily.
Apart from a more convenient dose regimen, this study found no significant advantage of famciclovir over acyclovir.
