Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query.In acute stage usually they will give gastric lavage to remove the drug from stomach.He will be ok after the observation time.As the drug has retinal toxicity it is better to have an ophthalmologic examination also before you leave the hospital.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further Query.
