Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this mistake. Please always pay attention as drugs can be very harmful. This is high but not fatal. I will suggest that you drink much fluids to help with elimination so as to prevent high concentrations in the urinary passages.

I hope this helps. Keep me updated. I wish you well.
