Poisoning

Call 999 or go to A&E if:

you think you, a child, or someone else may have swallowed, touched or breathed in something harmful
someone has lost consciousness
someone has stopped breathing
you or someone else has severe difficulty breathing - you're unable to get words out, or you're choking or gasping
you or someone else has a seizure (fit)

Find your nearest A&E

Do not drive to A&E. Ask someone to drive you or call 999 and ask for an ambulance.

Bring any medicines you take with you.

Call NHS 111 if:

you're not sure if something you or someone else have swallowed, touched or breathed in is harmful

While you're waiting for medical help

If you think you or someone else may have been poisoned, there are some things you can do while you're waiting for medical help.

Do

start CPR if someone is unresponsive and not breathing
put the person in the recovery position if they're unconscious and still breathing
keep checking the person is breathing - if they're awake, keep talking to them to make sure they have not lost consciousness
try to find what may have caused the poisoning - look around for packaging, containers, or medicines
take some of the substance or its packaging to show doctors at the hospital, if possible
if the person vomits, try putting some vomit in a container to give to healthcare professionals to help them find out what caused the poisoning

Don't

do not try to make someone sick if you think they've swallowed something harmful - they could choke and stop breathing
do not give the person anything to eat or drink

Symptoms of poisoning

Poisoning can happen after swallowing, touching, or breathing in a harmful substance.

Symptoms may take a few hours or days to start, so it's important to get medical advice quickly if there's a chance you or someone else could have poisoning.

Symptoms of poisoning can depend on what's caused it, and may include:

feeling sick or being sick
diarrhoea
feeling sleepy
blurred vision
high temperature
confusion
difficulty breathing
seizures (fits)
loss of consciousness

Causes of poisoning

Some common substances that can cause poisoning include:

medicines such as paracetamol, ibuprofen or antidepressants
household cleaning products such as bleach or laundry detergents
alcohol and drugs
certain plants and mushrooms
pesticides
chemicals found in some workplaces
carbon monoxide

Food poisoning advice

Food poisoning due to eating food that has not been prepared or stored properly can be treated at home. It’s rarely serious, and usually gets better on its own within a week.

Find out the symptoms of food poisoning and how to treat it yourself.

Treatments for poisoning

You'll need to be treated in hospital for poisoning because it can cause you to be seriously unwell, and can be life threatening.

Treatment depends on what's caused the poisoning, and may include:

medicines (antidotes)
a charcoal drink that can help stop some types of poisoning
treatments to help with your symptoms, such as fluids given into a vein to treat dehydration
removing what's caused the poisoning from your body – for example, some substances can be removed from your blood

If you do not have symptoms, you may not need any treatment, but may still need to be monitored for several hours in case you become unwell.

How to prevent poisoning

To prevent poisoning at home:

store medicines and chemicals out of reach of children, ideally in a locked cupboard
read the instructions that come with your medicines carefully to make sure you take the correct dose
put safety catches on low cupboards that contain harmful substances such as cleaning products to stop children getting hold of them
keep liquid cleaning products and chemicals in their original containers to avoid them being mistaken for drinks
get a carbon monoxide alarm for each room of your home that contains appliances that burn gas, oil, coal or wood
wear equipment such as gloves, goggles or a mask to protect yourself when handling or using harmful chemicals

I have always found the staff here, from the pharmacists down to young trainees on the tills, to be pleasant and patient. I like getting a txt to tell me when my scripts are ready for pick up.

Jennifer Elkins

I don’t often write reviews but wanted to share my experience of this pharmacy having read the mixture of reviews on Google.

I have been using their services regularly for over 10 years now and cannot fault them.

Sally Vokes

I visited the pharmacy today with a friend who was collecting their prescription. The service was wonderful, the lady behind the counter was very friendly and helpful and the medication was ready when they said it would be.

Hayley Cooper

They helped me when I was in need today. Would have had to wait 24 hours for some medication I’d run out of but I wasn’t coping well without it and the kind lady behind the counter turned it around for me in 15 mins despite them being incredibly busy. I am so grateful.

Aidan O'Keeffe

Dropped in here due to all the issues with Lloyds in Ash. I also gave up waiting at Boots at Farnborough Gate before trying here... The North Camp Pharmacy was small, but quiet and had everything we needed. Service with a smile too.

Julian Chapman

Armaan Dass

I’ve been to many pharmacies in and around this area and I have to say this is one of a kind. Very modern and aesthetically pleasing can’t wait to see the finished refit, it’s safe to say you’ll be seeing me more often :)
