Brief Answer:
Taking amlodipine double dose on single occasion is not a concern

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in details.
Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker group of anti hypertensives and given for treatment of high blood pressure and heart related conditions. It is important to know your regular dose schedule of amlodipine.

However, taking a double dose of amlodipine on a single occasion is not a concern. It will not cause any major side effects or adverse effects due to taking two pills.

You can take the regular dose tomorrow.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
