ER EMERGENCY EXPERIENCE
How awful. Thank goodness you were able to remain relatively clear headed thru this experience as it no doubt saved your life.
Thank-you for sharing and reminding all of us to remain vigilant when handling all meds as I'm sure anyone could find themselves in a similar situation on one of those days when life gets just too hectic.
Healing thoughts for a quick and full recovery.

Sharon, What a horrifying experience – I have thought of that very thing when preparing pill into capsule in kitchen, where I take my meds or if grandkids/granddogs are around and I drop one. Folks with other health issues certainly may not have survived this – so glad you did! But it makes me have to wonder how it makes my horses feel?

I thought pergolide was a benign medication.Not really. It was a treatment for humans also taken in conjunction with another drug, and there were a number of not insignificant side effects.
Here are the warnings. As the article mentions, the patient population was relatively older and medically fragile, so side effects were not unexpected.

Again, many, many thanks. You have caused one owner to give a lot more thought when dosing my horse.
