What Can Be The Repercussions Of Overdose Of Crestor, Toprol And Benicar?
Question: I take Metformin, Crestor 10mg, Toprol XL 50mg, and Benicar 40mg every night around 11:00pm--have for years without issue. Tonight, I was esp. tired, took the metformin, got interrupted and then completely forgot if I had already taken the other 3 also. I really didn't think I had taken them, so went ahead and took them then. I feel fine, but if I did accidentally double my dose of those 3 meds tonight, is there cause for real concern, or can I just go to bed?
Brief Answer:
Can cause low blood pressure and slow pulse
Detailed Answer:
Dear Mrs,
About Creator you shouldn't worry, there will be no side effect from 20 mg.
Concerning to Toprol XL and Benicar, they are medications, which control heart rate and blood pressure, so the adverse effects of double dose can be slow heart rate and low blood pressure. Check your pulse and blood pressure in an hour, if everything is ok, go to bed. If you feel bad at night and measure low blood pressure or pulse call emergency.
But do not panic, probably there will be no adverse effect as you take those medications for a long period.
Wishing you good health
