Should A Child Be Taken To A Doctor After Ingestion Of A Muscle Relaxer?

Hi, my daughter is 20 months old & I just caught her sucking on a skelextin ( I think is how you spell it), anyway it is a muscle relaxer. She only sucked on it for about a min & I took it away, but she was already spitting it out anyway. Should I take her to the emergency room? What can happen to her?
