Accidentally ingested 100mg Atenolol...?
My friend accidentally ingested 100mg Atenolol. What are the possible effects?
Answer:
First of all, it would be quicker to look up the drug on the internet and find out for yourself. The primary course of movement with any unknown overdose is elementary first aid. Maintain airway (if unconcious, tilt head posterior, apply artificial respiration if need be), monitor key signs, like heart rate, etc. Induce vomiting of any non-caustic substance (like medicines), introduce ipecac (charcoal) to hold your attention any undigested medicine, etc. Those are your primary concerns, after that contact a poison control center for more specific info.
you should contact a 24 hour pharmacy or poison control or an E.R. warning nurse.it depends on the age and weight of your friend and whether or not they enjoy high blood pressure or not but they may advocate your friend to eat something flavoursome because the pill is for people beside high blood pressure or thats the crucial use for it and it will lower his/her blood pressure and if its not high it could be massively dangerous.but I would check near the above to be sure and safe.Good luck!
