My Son Swallowed 3 Microgynon Tablets

I discovered that our 4 yr old son swallowed 3 of my microgynon tablets ? Should I just give him a lot of water ?

Hi,
In my opinion, 3 tablets of microgynon will not cause any problem to 4 year old son. Remember this contraceptive pill contains estrogen and progesterone both are hormone (related to female cycle) and these pills should be kept out of the reach of children. Take care in future, ideally these incidences should not occur.

All the best
