Does Taking An Extra Dose Of Flucloxacillin Accidentally Cause Any Side Effects?

hi ive recently been proscribed by my doctor 500mg flucloxacillin capsules but have accidentally miss read the guidelines of how to take. instead of taking 1 capsule 4 times daily I have been taking 2. only this morning when I realised that I only had 6 capsules left did alarm bells ring. upon reading the instructions again I realised ive been taking double the dose since Monday. What should I do?
