Question : Hi there, 40 minutes ago I accidentally took 2 Sudafed phenylephrine hydrochloride 12mg capsules instead of 1 capsule. The dosage is 1 capsule up to 4 times a day. I am 44 years old, female, 173cms tall and weigh 65kg. Do I need to worry? Thanks

Brief Answer:
no...

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

if it's 12mg per tablet then you shouldn't worry. Common dosage for nasal congestion is 30-60mg 4 times per day.

Kind Regards!
