How Is The Possible Accidental Consumption Of Xanax By An Infant Treated And Cured?
Question: My son thinks his girlfriend may have given their infant Xanax. How can he tell for sure?
Brief Answer:
The adverse effects depends on the dose.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your query in detail and can certainly understand your concern towards your grandson.
The adverse effect mainly depends on the dosage of xanax, as with minimal dosage it just causes only little sedation.
As your infant is 6 weeks old, so if the dose is around 0.25 mg, nothing to worry.
If the infant doesn't up after 6-8 hrs, you need to consult paediatrician.
Hope this information would help you.
Thank you.
