Brief Answer:
nothing to worry about

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting the question.
I have gone through your medical history in detail.

I do not feel that it will cause any problem to him.
But,still he should be kept under observation.You should inform your doctor about the incident atleast on phone.

Watch out for excessive sweating,giddiness,nausea,vomiting,fainting,irritability.
If you feel that he is having any of these symptoms,then you should consult your family physician immediately.

Give him water to drink as much as possible so that the drug will be washed out through urine by diuresis.

The effect of the drug usually fades away within 18-20 hours

I hope the answer was useful.

Feel free to ask me any follow up queries that you may have.

Thank you.
Kind regards.
