Is Your Home Poison-Proof? Tips for Safety
Show: UAMS Health Talk
The Arkansas Poison and Drug Information Center is located on the UAMS campus in Little Rock. Their staff of medical doctors, pharmacists, and registered nurses are certified specialists in poison information and is available 24 hours a day.
The poison hotline will provide the latest up-to-date clinical information regarding any poison exposure or drug interaction question rather than going online and getting information that may or may not be accurate or relevant. In some cases, the information that you get online may actually be harmful to you or your loved one.
They can provide treatment recommendations concerning ingestions, skin, ear, and eye exposures, bites and stings, and bad reactions to foods or drugs.
