Is Accidental Overdose Of Duromine Dangerous?
Question: I accidentally took 2 x 40 mg Duromine tablets about 4 hours apart today. Supposed to take only one. Is that Ok?
Brief Answer:
Unlikely to be any problem.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for using Healthcare Magic. You are most unlikely to suffer any adverse effects from the dose you have taken. There is a very small chance that you may notice a fast heart rate or restlessness but this will only be transient. I can reassure you that you have not taken a serious overdose. I suggest you wait 24 hours before you take your next dose.
I hope this has answered your question adequately.
Regards,
