Lip blush & Aciclovir

Hi all, can anyone please advise as to what dosage of 400mg aciclovir I should take pre & post lip blush? Ive had sun blisters on my lips in the past (a while ago)!and have been told to take these 5 days before and 5 days after. The lady who is doing my lips is on holiday and not back until my appointment. Google etc states 2 per day 5 days before & 5 days after but the online dosage states one 5 times per day! I only have 28 tabs and won't have enough if that's the case! I asked the receptionist who "thinks" 2 x 400 mg is correct but couldn't be sure! Has anyone else had this and if so what dosage was ok, or not enough or did you have a breakout? TIA very much for your help!

when you say sun blisters do you mean cold sores which are triggered by sunlight?

Sorry if I'm being dim, but it's useful to use actual medical terminology if you're asking the question. Because I'm not sure why 'sun blisters' from sunburn would be a problem
