That's not an extremely high amount to take, but the NIH warns that you may experience more side effects than usual, which may include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. However, there is a chance your blood pressure could drop too low, so if you find yourself feeling extremely dizzy, fainting or having trouble breathing, you should seek medical attention.

I normally take 20mg benazepril once per day, but I accidentally took two 20 mg doses. Also, I take irbesartan, amlodipine & hydrochlorothiazide. ## Taking a double dose just once isn't likely to cause any serious issues, according to the FDA, but you may experience more nausea, dizziness, headache, and hypotension than usual. However, it is always best to inform your doctor to be safe. Are these the only medications you take? ## Matoporal once daily50mg methylpredison 4mg Tylenol arthritis 1.tablet in the morning 650 mg ## No I take cetirizine,gabapentin,metformin,dilaudid.
