What Are The Effects Of Second Dose Of Amlodipine?

Posted on Mon, 17 Nov 2014

Question: I usually take one 5 mg amlodipine a day but before i took the bottle out of the cabinet and poured the 3 pills in the bottle out and walked away and when I came back in the kitchen I wasn't sure I took it or not usually I automatically write it down on a pad when I take it but I didn't write anything down so I am about 90% sure I didn't take it. What could happen if I had taken the 2 doses?

Hi and thank you for asking to HCM!

Don't worry nothing will happen if you have taken the second dose. You have just taken the maximal therapeutic dose of amlodipine.

Hope this was of help!
