Accidentally taking thyroxine 125 mcg twice in one day is usually not dangerous. No emergency action is needed. Do not take any extra doses now. Simply skip tonight and tomorrow’s dose and restart your regular morning dose the day after.
You may feel mild symptoms like anxiety, fast heartbeat, or restlessness—these usually settle on their own.
Next Steps
• If you develop severe palpitations, chest pain, shaking, or breathlessness, get medical help.
• Resume your normal daily morning dose after one day.
• Take the tablet on an empty stomach every morning to avoid future confusion.
Health Tips
• Thyroxine has a long half-life, so one extra dose won’t cause significant harm.
• Avoid taking it at night; stick to a fixed morning routine to prevent double-dosing.
