No, you don't need to see a doctor. Just miss out today's dose of thyroxine and take your dose normally tomorrow.

Thyroxine is not dangerous. Some people even take a whole week's dose once a week. (Although that wouldn't appeal to me at all!)

Try not to worry about it. like the commenter below me said, just miss a dose and take your next one normally. I'm prescribed 200mcg Levothyroxine to take every single day! You'll be fine :)
