Best Answer

Induction of vomiting should only be done when the ingested toxin or poison is known and is not caustic to mucus membranes, and was ingested within the last 30-60 minutes. Otherwise, you should call for emergency assistance (in the United States, this would be 911) and let the professionals determine how to address the ingestion.

Call the emergency number, i.e. 999 or 911 immediately. Ask them what to do. I would have been inclined to say induce vomiting but then I came across compounds that you don't induce vomiting for.
