My friend accidentally ingested 100mg Atenolol. What are the possible effects?
Answers:
First of all, it would be quicker to look up the drug on the internet and find out for yourself. The primary course of action with any unknown overdose is basic first aid. Maintain airway (if unconcious, tilt head back, apply artificial respiration if need be), monitor vital signs, like heart rate, etc. Induce vomiting of any non-caustic substance (like medicines), introduce ipecac (charcoal) to absorb any undigested medicine, etc. Those are your primary concerns, after that contact a poison control center for more specific info.
