Has Famvir been discontinued?

I got a notice from the pharmacy they can't get Famvir . I looked it up and this is what I found. I have only been on it a couple months and I think it's been helping .

Is there any place else to get this ?

I believe the brand name has been discontinued but the generics remain available.

You might check goodrx.com too.
