Brief Answer:
Considerations.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for sending the query.

A single extra dose of amiodarone should not cause any type of harm or side effect.

I would recommend to resume the medication at the prescribed dose tomorrow.

If for some reason there are any unusual symptoms such as dizziness, shortness of breath or blurred vision please contact your physician.

Thank you again for sending the query.

Sincerely,

Dr Galamaga
