Hi,
Please give him a glass of water with about a tablespoon full of salt and induce vomiting in him.
Repeat the procedure till he vomits completely the contents in his stomach.
However, please do not wait after this. Take him to the emergency room as soon as possible so that a stomach wash can be given immediately, his vitals checked and monitored under medical care.
If the amount drank is minimal, there are no immediate complications. However, please do not wait and watch in such situations.
Your husband needs immediate medical attention to rule out any serious adverse effects of Harpic on his body.
I wish him early recovery.
Please do write back in case of further queries.
