Is it harmful for a 4 year old to swallow 2 prilosec otc tablets?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prilosec OD: The amount of Prilosec in 2 OTC tablets is 40 mg, a dose 3-4 times higher than a child of this age would be prescribed with this medicine if needed. Certainly this requires careful watching for watery bowel movements (diarrhea), stomach ache gas, upset stomach, or throwing up headache unusual drowsiness, tiredness rash trouble having a bowel movement (constipation). U should call state poison ctr
