That’s certainly the dosage recommended in the BNF (bnf.nice.org.uk/drugs/acicl.... It gave me diarrhoea, so I stopped and the shingles went of its own accord in about 3 weeks. I found paracetamol helped with the pain. Worth a try, though, because everyone’s experience is different and it might speed up your recovery.
yesi was gave aciclovir too but i felt sick and diarrhoea too so iv left them .just hope im better for xmas
Hi, my mother has just had shingles, she was given aciclovir five times a day, made her to tired so doctor changed to another type twice a day, but I cannot remember what they where called. Hope your better soon.

I too had shingles start a few days after my (in my case fifth) Covid jab. Mine was on the right side of my face. I have read that there is a slightly increased risk of shingles after the vaccine, particularly for people who have weak immune systems (like I have). Re the aciclovir: 800mg five times a day is the standard dose for shingles. I managed it without obvious side-effects. I hope you recover well.
