Answer:

The medication could have a poisonous effect

Step-by-step explanation:

im late, but this seems like the most plausible answer to me. the question didnt mention the person taking other med so a an antagonistic/agonistic effect would be impossible. Placebo is when you arent taking any medication but start to feel better, it could mean that the person might feel better faster but I might be looking in it too deep.

But doubling a liquid medication would definitely cause an accidental OD, maybe even a fatal one depending on what it is.
