Ingestions

12/17/2013

 
Accidental poisoning most frequently occurs in children 1 to 4 years old. All poisons, medications, and other toxic substances should be kept out of sight and reach of children. Cabinets and drawers containing such substances should be securely locked. Ipecac is no longer recommended for poisonings.

If you are worried that your child ingested a medication in error or overdosed on a medication, call the San Francisco Poison Control at 800-222-1222. Do not wait for symptoms to occur! Calling right away may prevent adverse outcomes.
