Before Calling Emergency

- If the medication was prescribed for the patient
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 emergency room.
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:
- A narcotic antagonist (medicine that reverses the effect of the narcotic)
- Medicines to make the person throw up (vomit)
- Activated charcoal
- Laxative
- A nasogastric (NG) tube thru the nose into the stomach to empty the stomach (gastric lavage)
- Breathing assistance
Some patients may remain in the hospital for observation.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Patients who quickly receive medicine to reverse the effect of the narcotic usually get better within 24 to 48 hours. However, children do not do as well.
