Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I think my 96-year-old mother with dementia, swallowed a whole Efferdent tablet. The poison control said not to worry about it and just watch her for vomiting and dehydration. After searching the literature, I m not sure whether we should take her to the emergency room or not. She sleeping right now. Before going to sleep, she was burping quite a bit.
It is better to take her to the ER & let her stay under observation. If symptoms of side effects manifest, medical aid & symptomatic treatment can be given immediately.

Watch for dehydration or any reaction, report to the treating GP without delay. Get treated in case of side effects. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
