Brief Answer:
Take valacyclovir 500 mg twice daily.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think you were taking a lower dosage of valacyclovir. I would have preferred to give you 500 mg twice daily for 7 days.
You can still take 500 mg of valacyclovir twice daily for 5 more days.
You can go to a pharmacy and show them my prescription because there is no other way you can take them.

Rp: Valacyclovir 500mg
Dtd : 10 in tabs
Ds: 2 per day
