 A meta-analysis report showed that antiviral drugs, acyclovir and valacyclovir, were not effective against facial palsy. Recently, two foreign reports showed that another antiviral drug, famciclovir was efficacious agent for facial palsy. In Japan, however, the report of the efficacy of famciclovir against the facial palsy has not been published. Therefore, two patients with the facial palsy were treated with the combination therapy with famciclovir and corticosteroids. Consequently, their facial palsy improved without side effects in a month. Famciclovir is thought to be a good candidate of the antiviral drug against facial palsy.
