Hi,

Dangerously low blood pressure and heart rate can occur. Accidental ingestion of BP lowering pills in children can cause dangerously low BP, heart rate changes, lethargy, seizures, coma and even death. She must be taken to the emergency room of your nearby hospital immediately if she shows the symptoms of dangerously low BP as mentioned above. Please see that these medicines are not be kept in refrigerators. Rather they should be kept properly in places unreachable by children to prevent accidental ingestion.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
