She would be safe.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I have noted your sister's clinical details. Based on this, there is no need to worry, as double her current dose is within safe limits for her. Just ensure that her blood pressure and pulse rate are within normal limits.

I hope my answer helps. Wishing you good health.
