It is in the safe limit

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concern.

First regarding overdose I must assure you that you are not in the unsafe limits of the medication and there is no risk of overdose with current dose. I understand that with multiple medications there is always risk of toxicity but considering your past experience with medications I feel you are in the safe limit and there is little to worry in regard to drug toxicity.

I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.
