Is it ok if I miss my shingles prescription (acyclovir, 5 pills a day, 800 mg a pill) for a day and a half.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. If you forget a dose of aciclovir, take it (or use the cream or eye ointment) as soon as you remember, unless it's nearly time for your next dose. In this case, just skip the missed dose and continue with your next one at the usual time. Never have 2 doses at the same time. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a treatment plan for you.
