Took two tablets by mistake
« on: March 14, 2019, 01:21:21 PM »
Hi, scared here:

I'm on femoston 1/10 and accidentally took two grey pills this morning and now I'm really worried.  Haven't been able to get hold of my doc.  Will keep trying but really worried now.  Should I just calm down or is this going to have crap side effects?

Honestly - don't worry!
I've done that before and my sister has too.  Neither of us came to any harm. 
One extra tablet won't give you side effects.  Just remember how long it took your HRT to kick in and take effect when you first took it.

Thank you so much.

And of course - pharmacist!  I always forget what a good source of advice they are.

agree with jaypo - of course- pharmacists are brilliant and far more accessible than the GP.

I wouldn't worry a jot. Nothing will happen.
Can't remember if the grey are progesterone phase or not
Either way no harm done, because femoston also comes in 2 mg packs
So effectively you have taken 2 mgs instead of 1mgs- perfectly safe in both doses.
I would enjoy the effects of the higher dose- like I am right now.LOL

Nothing to worry about! I did the opposite, I forget to take a pill. Just go on taking it as usual. :)
