Brief Answer:
First 24 hrs is the most important phase..

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX, Welcome to HCM..

I've gone through your query and understand your concern..

It's seems quite an unfortunate scenario but you need not to worry much..

No , since more than 3 hours have passed by, vomiting now won't be of any use now as the tablet is already dissolved and on the process of getting metabolized..

Just keep drinking a lot of water and stay well hydrated for the time being, it shouldn't cause any problem as of such, but please stay vigilant and if you feel any sudden sharp abdominal pain, itching all over body, dizziness/drowsiness, weakness then you need to go to your nearest ER without any further delay..

Hope this will clear your doubt..

Take Care and be watchful for now..
Kind Regards
