Although it was an accident please pay more attention onwards, as of now it may not cause any serious side effect other than diarrhoea, stomach ache, dizziness, headache. The major side effect includes increase in heart rate which is unlikely to happen as it was just a single dose given. The medicine will stay in the body for approx 1.5 days or so but if the patient has any liver problems it may stay for longer.
Next Steps
Please check if there is any medical history related to liver problems or cardiac problems if yes please visit your nearest emergency to flush out the medicine.
Health Tips
Keep observing the symptoms of the patient for next 2 days, don't panic.
