A member asked:

Doctor prescribed me a beta blocker to take twice a day (2 40mg pills twice a day). but instead i take it 4 times a day. will it effect me?

Of course.: The whole object of giving you meds is to affect you. The question is are you taking too much and will it affect you in a seriously bad way? You should notify your doc for that answer.
