Only one time is not a problem.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Thank you for using "Ask a doctor" service.

One time 3 pills is not a problem. Acyclovir causes problem only if taken for a long time in overdose. Do not worry. Drink plenty of water and it will be ok.

Let me know if you have other questions or concerns.

Kind regards, Dr. Klarida Papaqako, General and Family physician.
