Home Care
Do not make the person throw up unless told to do so by Poison Control or a health care provider.
Before Calling Emergency
Determine the following information:
- Patient's age, weight, and condition
- Name of product (as well as the ingredients and strength, if known)
- Time it was swallowed
- Amount swallowed
The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the U.S. use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Take the container with you to the hospital, if possible.
See National Poison Control center.
What to Expect at the Emergency Room
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure.
The patient may receive:
- Medicines to treat symptoms
- Activated charcoal
- Methods to make the person throw up
- A nasogastric (NG) tube thru the nose into the stomach to empty the stomach (gastric lavage)
- EKG
- Blood tests to check digitalis, serum magnesium, and serum potassium levels
- Medicine (antidote) to reverse the effects of the overdose
- Methods to correct electrolyte (potassium, magnesium) imbalances
Outlook (Prognosis)
If the patient survives the first 24 hours the chance of survival is very good.
