Question: I accidentally sipped some Clorox, from a glass. what can I do? drink a lot more water? I was taking my Parkinson's medication and took it from the wrong glass. I swallowed my pills so I know I injested some Clorox, but it must have been a miniscule amount.

Brief Answer:
Relax, it's not dangerous in minute amount

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
There is nothing to worry if you have swallowed only a minute amount. It may produce some gastritis. You can drink some milk. If you have an antacid like Gaviscon, you can take 2 tablespoons full to give additional protection.
Take care to store such poisonous material away from the food and drinks.
Do get back to me if you have any further queries.
