HI
Well come to HCM
This is the medical emergency and she need to be taken to ER immediately because there she would be in need of gastric lavage if this is being done then no question would arise for the time period of any fatal consequences, hope this information helps, (Absorption of drug is matter here this could be two hours or more ) take care.
