It is generally safe.  No adverse effects will happen.  Therotically loose stools may occur that too will be self limited.  But practically no such effects occur of overdose.  OPV is quite safe .
Next Steps
Don't Worry. 
Health Tips
It's always better to give the right amount of dose.  Be cautious next time.
