What Are The Repercussion Of Taking A Double Dose Of Clonidine HCL?

Hi, I am a user of clonidine Hcl Tabs 0.2 mg. My schedule was off a bit today which is unusual. My prescription calls for one pill in the AM and one at bed time. My daytime pill was taken at 6PM. When I went to get ready for the night I accidentally took another at 10PM. Is this going to cause a problem? I have no dizziness or other side effects at this time.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Accidental ingestion of extra dose within a short time span, can give postural hypotension, vertigo and other features; but as here 4 hours have passed, and there is no dizziness, do not panic and be calm.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel,
General Surgeon
