Mexico and other countries
We could not verify a national poison line for Mexico or most other countries. Use your local emergency number or go to the nearest hospital, and ask a local doctor or pharmacist for the poison center number before you need it. We will add countries when we can confirm the number from an official source.Veterinary lines
