Simplest is best:
So you've injected three times the recommended allowance into the patient's body?!"
But normally "dosage" is more appropriate than "allowance". Or it might be a "recommended daily allowance". In any case, you can't inject "numbers", you must inject "amounts".

This way:
"So you've injected 3 times the amount of the recommended allowance . . ."
