What Is The Procedure To Be Followed After Ingestion Of Xanax Pills By A Child?
My mother just called and think my grandson took two of her Xanax pills out of her dresser and swolled them? what procedure should be taken??? I told her to call 911 and go to hospital immediately. We don t know if he actually taken them but two pills were missing and he had one in his mouth when she found him in the bedroom.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Xanaox (Alprozolam) is used by the elderly for insomnia.
The strength of the pills are not mentioned in you question.
The age of you grandson needs mention
Over dose causes more of drowsiness as it is a tranquiliser.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
