Brief Answer:
No adverse health

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Please do not worry about single cap accidental intake. They get digested by stomach acids. EASI BREATHE has eucalyptus oil, menthol, camphor etc which are non toxic substances.
THere may not be any immediate or long term affects.
Just increase water intake to emit out the metabolites of the medicines quickly out of the body.
Alternatively you can also take ACTIVATED CHARCOAL, one tablet to reduce the absorption of the inhalant capsule. THey are available in any pharmacy.

Hope this answers.
