A member asked:
Normally take 500mg of valcyclovir daily to suppress outbreak between 8-9 am. today was late and took it at 10:20. does this increase chance of outbreak since i was off schedule today?

No risk, no worry: There's no need to take valacyclovir the same time every day. Even a 24 hour delay wouldn't make any difference.
