Hello, I understand your concern
Licking a strip is unlikely to cause significant harm unless the child chewed/swallowed multiple tablets. Norethisterone has low acute toxicity in small accidental doses. No need to panic. Hormonal effects are dose-dependent and unlikely with a brief exposure.
Discourage inducing vomiting at home in the future — it may cause aspiration or trauma. In most cases, supportive observation is safer and recommended.
Watch for:
Vomiting, diarrhea
Abdominal pain
Drowsiness or irritability
Breast tenderness or spotting (very rare)
Any unusual behavior
Next Steps
Observe at home — no specific antidote needed.
Hydration — offer fluids to flush out any residual medication.
Consult pediatrician if child develops any of the above symptoms.
