Detailed description
The poison control center is a specialized advice center that offers you quick help and professional advice in the event of poisoning or suspected poisoning. Medical experts work there and are available by phone 24 hours a day to give instructions in emergencies and to assess whether a poisoning is life-threatening and what measures need to be taken.
Basic behavior in case of poisoning: Stay calm and avoid any hasty behavior. If someone is unconscious, you should first inform the emergency services (telephone number 112).
The rule is: call first, then act! This is the only way to prevent under- and over-treatment, as well as unnecessary hospital stays.
