Hello

Thank you for reaching out Dr. Galen, Please find the below response to your query.

If you’ve mistakenly ingested Rhumasyl oil, it’s crucial to seek medical attention immediately. Rhumasyl oil is not meant for consumption, and drinking it by mistake could cause harmful effects. Common symptoms might include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, or stomach discomfort, but more serious reactions are also possible depending on the amount ingested. Even if you're not experiencing symptoms right away, it's important to err on the side of caution and get checked by a healthcare professional.

I strongly recommend going to the nearest emergency room or contacting a poison control center as soon as possible. They will be able to assess your condition, provide the necessary treatments, and monitor you for any adverse reactions. Please don’t attempt to manage this situation on your own—prompt medical intervention is the safest course of action to ensure your well-being.

Thanks
