The name of the drug was not included in the question. If your question is about the Petinimid drug marked in the tags, please read on.
According to the summary of product characteristics for Petinimid, the product is absorbed rapidly and completely. The maximum concentration of the drug is reached in the blood after 1-4 hours. If there was no tablet in the returned content, there is a high probability that the dose was taken by the child.
I would like to point out that, according to the package leaflet, any omission of the preparation should not be supplemented. On the other hand, taking an excess tablet can lead to an overdose of Petinimid, which is manifested by, for example, increased fatigue, dullness, mood changes or agitation, sometimes also irritability. In addition, nausea, vomiting and central nervous system disorders (sometimes leading to coma and the onset of shallow breathing or respiratory paralysis) occur. In this case, immediate medical attention is necessary.
