I had the sink full of dishes and dropped my daughter's pills everywhere. .. thought I had found them all but apparently one pill fell in the dish water... I washed and dried the dishes before I realized the pill was in the dish water. Should I be re washing all those dishes again?

Hello, Ladygem! How are you?

It is highly unlikely that with the dish detergent and drying any of the medication would be on them in enough amounts to affect anyone. It wouldn't hurt to give them an extra rinse to be safe, if you prefer, though. I will also add that I am not a doctor, so it's always best to double check such information to be careful.

You may want to make sure that you inform her doctor of what happened, to ensure she doesn't run out early, before her next refill is due.

The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, insomnia and nervousness.

Is there anything else I can help with?
