It says on the website "If swallowed accidentally seek medical advice. " Maybe ring healthline or the afterhours or something to ask them?

If in doubt Healthline is a good place to start as well. I know it's not the same, but they were really helpful when I broke my wrist, and couldn't figure out if I could wait to see a Dr.
Healthline

Try ringing the poison hot line, they would probably have a better idea.
Good luck
