Brief Answer:
Less likely to produce any problem, but inform your consultant

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome
It is less likely to produce any problem, but it is wise to inform your consultant.
That said, if you experience any heart arrhythmias like skipped beats or have any tremors, dizziness, or visual problems you should see a doctor. Usually these are noted in dose much more than one extra pill.
Kindly be careful in the future.
Hope this helps
Take care
