My one year old might have swallowed a 0.5mg Xanax. It has been about 45 min since we found her playing in the drawer where it was..no signs or symtoms yet. Should we contact poison control? Are there any detrimental effects of a 20lb child ingesting this medication?
Thanks for asking I have gone through question, your 1-year-old kid accidentally swallowed .5 mg of Xanax(Alprazolam) about 45 min. If was your treating pediatrician I would go for stomach wash(putting a rubber tube through nose to stomach and rinsing it content by water through tube) of your kid because it only 45 min passed.  So you should contact with poison control.  Detrimental effects of this dose of alprazolam is he may feel sleepy for next 24 to 72 hours period.  So take care of his feeding, hope I answer you query.  Wishes you healthy family
