Is Double Dose Of Thyroid Medication Harmful?
I accidentally took Blood Pressure (Lisinopril Hctz 20-12.5 mg) and Thyroid (Livothyroxin 125 mcg) medication in the evening also. Normally I take both medicine once a day and in morning only. Now with double dose will it have any impact? Thanks for your comment.

hello,
i appreciate your concern.
dont worry,
these l-thyroxin extra dose will not cause any severe side effect but the antihypertensive may cause hypotension.
to prevent this-take complete bed rest.
plenty of water preferebly ORS.
check BP 2 hourly.
if any severe symptoms appear like palpitition,syncope,vertigo go to emergency.
take both half doses tomorrow.and next day onwords take normal dosages.
hope you find this helpful.
regards.
