Hello,
They need to keep you under observation to ensure that no adverse effects appear depending on the amount of the medication that was absorbed. Although not many bad effects have been described, there are some neurological ones such as alterations in gait, so you should monitor it for a few hours.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
