benuron suppositories

Hello, my child is having a cold, I went to the doctor today and this evening he developed a fever. However, by mistake I have given him 1000mg Benuron suppositories instead of the prescribed 250mg for his weight and age. Is this now dangerous?

Please call the pediatric emergency service or a poison control center immediately (!) and provide this information along with your question to the attending physician - they will be able to give you specific advice.

Sincerely,

Dr. med. Christoph Schmülling
