Brief Answer:
Generally not expected to cause serious side effects

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms,I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns . usually Zovirax is very well tolerated and doubling the dose for a single time is not expected to cause any serious side effects . however , I would recommend a follow up check up on kidney and liver function tests to exclude any possible adverse effect of the overdose. I hope I answered your question. if you don't have any other clarifications then please close the discussion .
