My Son Has Eaten Half A Tablet Of Metrogyl, Does He Need Medical Attention?
i think my son has taken one of my husband metrogyl 400mg tablets, he was trowing up and then i found the tablets opened on the floor in my room with one tablet half chewed up and spat out on the floor. my son threw up a desent amount and then went a little clammy, he seems fine now and is sleeping but i have been keeping an eye on him. i was just wondering should i be taking him to the hospital or just keep an eye on him?

Hi,
I do not think you need to worry about this. But for another two or three days he might not eat properly because of metallic taste in the mouth. Just keep him well hydrated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
