I accidentally took THYRONORM twice today, once at 8 am and then again at 2:30 pm after lunch. I was actually supposed to take my blood pressure medicine, Lover 100 mg. Can you tell me if it's okay for me to take my BP medicine now? And is there anything else I should do since I took an extra dose of THYRONORM? I'm really worried about what this might do.
