Before Calling Emergency
Determine the following information:

- When it was swallowed
- The 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
Some or all of the following procedures may be performed:
- Treatment of symptoms
- Pumping the stomach (gastric lavage)
- Giving activated charcoal
- Monitoring vital signs ( including blood pressure and pulse)
Outlook (Prognosis)
One-time ingestion of a corticosteroid product is usually benign, requiring no therapy. Most symptoms are associated with long-term therapeutic use of these drugs.
