An overdose of Methyldopa can be potentially fatal if not treated immediately. Methyldopa is a prescription medicine used to treat high blood pressure, but if an overdose occurs, the symptoms include dizziness, lightheadedness, rapid breathing, and fainting. It may also cause weakness, headache, and nausea. In case of a Methyldopa overdose, it is crucial to seek medical attention immediately.

When a dose of Methyldopa is missed, it is important to take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for the next dose, it is recommended to skip the missed dose and follow the regular dosing schedule. It is not a good idea to double up on doses to make up for a missed one. It is important to always follow the advice of your medical professional for guidance on the dosing and consumption of any medication.
