Hi,
There is no need to do immediate stomach wash or panicking. Give her lots of amount of water and keep her well hydrated.
Be on the lookout for symptoms of low blood pressure like loss of consciousness and extreme tiredness.
If these occur please take her to the nearest emergency room, otherwise she will put out the drug in the urine if you give her to 2 to 3 litres of water per day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
