What to do in case of poisoning

Poisoning by medicines, chemicals, mushrooms or food: when to call 112 and when to call the poison information service.

112 If a life is at risk, call 112 first: it is free, works without a SIM card and answers in English.

Steps

  1. If the person is unconscious, having seizures or struggling to breathe, call 112.
  2. Otherwise, call the National Poison Information Service: they will tell you what to do.
  3. Keep the packaging of the product or medicine to hand: they will ask for the name, the amount and the time.
  4. Do not induce vomiting or give anything to drink unless a doctor tells you to.

Say it in Spanish

Creo que es una intoxicación.

I think it is poisoning.
