Is Accidental Intake Of Extra Dosage Of Amlodipine A Cause For Concern?

I ve just discovered that a pharmacist gave me the wrong dose of Amlodipine. I ve been taking 20mg instead of 10mg for the past two weeks. I only discovered it today and have started taking 10mg again. I feel fine and haven t had any problems. I will go in to the pharmacy tomorrow and inform them what they did.
