Brief Answer:
No risk in taking medications twice just on one occasion
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
If you have taken double dose of one particular medication or all pills twice for a day then its still not dangerous. The toxic effects of medicines will not occur after taking double doses.
The medications for high blood pressure will regulate elevated levels to normal but not go below that even when taken twice the amount.
However taking medications twice must be avoided in future.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
