Most poison or toxins are swallowed by accident. Taking too much of a medicine or supplement can also be dangerous. And even swallowing a non-toxic item can cause problems such as a choking hazard.
If you think you’ve swallowed something harmful, call the Poison and Drug Information Service (PADIS). In Alberta, call 1-800-332-1414 anytime day or night. Have the container or product information with you when you call.
