Rationale for change

Addition of famciclovir to card because it can also be used to prevent HSV outbreaks. I confirmed this through the Medline Plus website and the CDC page for Genital Herpes.

From Medline Plus:
"Famciclovir is used to treat repeat outbreaks and to prevent further outbreaks of genital herpes (a herpes virus infection that causes sores to form around the genitals and rectum from time to time) in people with a normal immune system."
