Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I understand your concern.
Don't worry this is not going to harm you as you have taken double dose once only. I would advise you to skip the next dose and continue then as you do.
You may just have myalgias or bodyache for a day of two as a side effect.
There is nothing to worry. Just relax.
If you have XXXXXXX further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
