Suggest Treatment For Shingles
Question: Hi,
I have been diagnosied with shingles. I just completed the Famvir (famciclovir family) course today. Doctor suggested me to take vivioptal vitamin supplement. I got to know that vivioptal is not suitable for vegetarians. I am a strict vegetarian (without onion, garlic and egg/fish), like vegan (but I consume milk products). Can you suggest some alternatives please. BTW, I have hair loss problem as well. So, please consider while prescribing.
