My mother, bymistake took her BP medication in the afternoon. Her first dose was just 2 hours before she by mistake took this extra dose. As per prescription, she has to take a pill in the morning and the night. But she confused it to be her calcium med and took her 2nd dose in the afternoon Is there anything that needs to be done?. Is it an emergency?
