Child Had Put Xanax In Mouth And Spit Immediately. Any Fatal Danger?

My son put a 1 mg Xanax in his mouth and I'm almost positive that he immediately spit it out since its an absolutely horrible taste I just want to make sure my son will be ok and he isnt in any fatal danger if he gets this drug in his system -.. I could have killed my sister who was babysitting for leaving her medicine lying Around.

Xanax contains alprazolam which is anxilytic .

1 . as u are very much sure that your child has split out . no need to worry .
2 . watch your child cvarefully , if he is drowsy sleepy .
3 .if child develops unusal behavior consult to doctor . other wise it is fine .
be care ful for next time /

if you are sure that your son spat it out immediately thn need to worry.relax in such a short time drug cant be absorbed.even if little goes inside is of no harm.such little dose will not do any harm.but plz keep such dangerous things out of baby's reach.this is the only advice i want to give.

hi
thank you for your querry on HCM
alprozolam or xanax is a tranquilliser
the consumed also is the therapeutic dose of adults
usually nothing will happen except some sedation for some time
good luck
