Brief Answer:
miss today's next dose.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
Since you have taken two tablets together, it is equivalent to one day dosage. But it can increase the side effects of the medicine.
So, I would suggest that you should miss the next dose of the medicines. This will prevent further extra dosage of the medicine entering the body.
Drink lots of water daily.
If you feel any discomfort or any symptom, you should immediately consult the Emergency room.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.
