Brief Answer:
Usually no worries

Detailed Answer:
Dear patient,

this dosage within 13 hours usually does not cause any harm or dangerous conditions, so there is no need to worry. If you drive or operate any heavy machinery you might want to avoid that temporarily in case you are experiencing any mild sedative effects.
