Always follow your doctor’s instructions. Typical dosages vary depending on the condition being treated. For genital herpes, a common regimen involves 400mg five times daily for seven to ten days. Shingles treatment might require 800mg five times daily for seven days. Chickenpox treatment often uses a different dosage schedule, usually determined by weight and age, so consult your doctor.
Dosage Adjustments for Specific Conditions
For severe renal impairment, your doctor may adjust the dosage or frequency to prevent drug buildup. Older adults might also require dose adjustments based on kidney function. Never alter your prescription without consulting a healthcare professional. Take Aciclovir tablets with plenty of water. They can be taken with or without food.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Never double up on doses. Consistent medication adherence is key to successful treatment. If you have any questions regarding dosage, consult your physician or pharmacist immediately.
