Question: This morning I took my husband’s medication by accident. I took Norvasc 10 mg and Xtandi 160 mg. I do not have high blood pressure. Sometimes it’s low. I am in menopause so no chance I’m pregnant. It’s been about 14 hours since I took the meds

Brief Answer:
accidental medication

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
As you have taken a single dose of each medicine already and its been 14 hrs without any side effects or symptoms, then there is nothing which needs to be done. You may just keep yourself well hydrated to allow the medicines to be metabolized and excreted out of body.
xtandi is an anti androgen for prostrate patients.
Just keep a watch for any headache nausea an vomiting. In case you experience, then please visit your emergency services at the nearest hospital.
