Urgent - Accidentally consumed mercury
Accidentally consumed 1 DABUR MUGDHA RASA tablet (mercury tablet).
Each tablet consist of 25mg mercury and 25mg calcium carbonate.
I found 1 tablet in yellow dal. Only half tablet was dissolved with the yellow dal.
My mom prepared 3 katori yellow dal out of which I only consumed 1 katori.
It has been 1 hour, no problem till now.
So practically I have consumed around 1/5 or 1/6 tablet.
Please give appropriate suggestions and next steps.

If it is a mercury tablet , it is meant to be taken orally. May be it's not allopathic medicine. Dabur mugdha rasa , Ayurveda medicine containing mercury.
Every molecule in proper amount may have a role in well being of our body.
Same substance can be medicine and can be poison only depending on dose.
So, relax.
If you don't like to take ayurvedic medicine avoid such accidents in future. But know that it is not likely to harm you.
Dabur products if GMP certified are licensed by our government for consumption.
