HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your daughter as long as the over dose is concern there are creation level of dose recommendation for each molecules which is called the lethal dose and care should be taken for that here by mistake you gave the extra dose and this is not dangerous, but that does not mean that it is to be taken lightly, but next time you have to be more careful have a nice day.
