What happens when dogs eat human medicine by accident?
My girlfriend’s dog just ate some cold medicine, and zantac
Avery Boland say: Call the Poison control center if you can’t reach a Vet’s office. There might be something that needs to be done immediately to induce vomitting, if that’s even recommended.
Scott Johnson say: dogs bodys are very much like ours, if its not good for a human, if the dose is to much or two medicines mixed together that would be bad for us. they weigh less than us but zantac is for stomach acid. my doctor told me to give my dog beano for his gas. so i think ur safe as long as he didnt OD
Pamela Turner say: It depends on the medicine. I’d call a vet no matter what if it ever happened. Tylenol may be fine for us, but it will kill a cat. Animals metabolize different chemicals differently than humans.

In most of the cases, Zantac is safe for use in dogs and it is also used in veterinary medicine.But for other drugs there are many differences in the dosage for dogs and humen beings.
