Brief Answer:
Take her to the ER
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Health Care Magic.
The dose of Meftal P (50 mg / 5 ml) is 4-7 mg/kg/dose to be given at a minimum interval of 6-8 hrs. 9 ml should indeed be an overdose and I think you should take her to the ER so that the doctors can monitor and take suitable action if necessary.
