Poison Treatment

Most poisonings occur when parents or caregivers are home but not paying attention. The most dangerous potential poisons are medicines, cleaning products, antifreeze, windshield wiper fluid, pesticides, furniture polish, gasoline, kerosene and lamp oil. Be especially vigilant when there is a change in routine. Holidays, visits to and from grandparents' homes, and other special events may bring greater risk of poisoning if the usual safeguards are defeated or not in place.
If the victim is alert and ingestion is recent, with the exception of fuel oils and caustic soaps, induce vomiting.
To cause someone to vomit, use syrup of ipecac, which is often in first aid kits.
Do not induce vomiting with an oily poison because the substance may enter the lungs where it will create even greater problems. Small amounts of oily poisonous substances are best left alone to pass through the body. Milk may dissolve some of the oil and reduce the damage to cells as it passes out of the body.
Medicinal Ingredients:
All finished product and ingredients used in the manufacture of the product should comply with the specifications of Schedule B pharmacopoeial or equivalent standard.
Store medicine, cleaners, paints/varnishes and pesticides in their original packaging in locked cabinets or containers, out of sight and reach of children.
Install a safety latch - that locks when you close the door - on child-accessible cabinets containing harmful products.
Purchase and keep all medicines in containers with safety caps. Discard unused medication.
Preventing poisoning at home
You can reduce the likelihood of accidental poisoning in your home. Below are some suggested steps.
Store all medicines, vitamins and poisonous substances in child-proof containers and lock them in an area that is well out of reach of children. Be vigilant not only with medicines but also with common household products, such as bleach, polishes, paint thinners, white spirit, oven cleaners and paint.
Never store dangerous products in everyday containers such as milk bottles or drinking glasses. A child may associate these with food or drink and try them out. Check the garden for poisonous plants and berries and remove them.
Directions:
Call a Poison Control Center or hospital emergency center immediately before administering this product. Fill bottle with water or soda pop to fill line on label. Shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds. Drink entire contents as quickly as possible or as directed by a health professional. If previous attempts to contact a Poison Control Center, Emergency Medical Facility, or Health Professional are unsuccessful, continue trying. Save container of poison. Keep patient active and moving.
