Suggest Daily Dosage Of Zovirax
My mother is taking the drug Zovirax. The prescription bottle says it is 800mg and she should take it 5 times a day. She is on Hospice care for Alzheimers. The only intake she gets is from Ensure shakes 2-3 times a day juice or gingerale. Does this seem like the correct dailey dosage. I am in fear it will make her nautious and sick to stomach.
