Hi,

In the usual situation, this should not cause any serious effects apart from some drowsiness and unsteadiness. Just skip next dose and be alert in future. If you develops any rash or blurring of vision, kindly consult your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK
