Maximum recommended dose is 10 mg a day but doses up to 20 mg /day have been reported. Would monitor blood prressure and if noting any dizziness, weakness ,chest pain palpitation call 911 and go to ER https://www.pdr.net/drug-summary/Norvasc-amlodipine-besylate-1853

Not likely to cause significant issues, best would be to use a pillbox or an app to make sure this type of event does not happen again.
