I accidentally ended up swallowing a Bendax400 tablet, which I know is supposed to be chewable. I'm kinda worried now. Could you let me know if that's harmful, and what I should do next?

View allI'm really worried because my friend accidentally gave me a duralast 30mg tablet and I took it without realizing. I'm concerned about any potential side effects or reactions I might have. Could something happen to me because of this? Please, I need some advice quickly.
Duralast 30 mg contains **dapoxetine**, typically used for specific conditions like premature ejaculation. Taking one tablet accidentally is unlikely to cause serious harm but may lead to mild side effects like nausea, dizziness, or headache. Stay hydrated, monitor yourself, and consult a doctor if you feel unwell.

So, my pet dog just bit me on my right foot near the ankle back on May 11, 2019. Do you think I need an anti-rabies shot for this? And if so, any idea how much that might cost? Just mentioning that we got our dog vaccinated around 7 years ago.
Yes you have to take complete course of vaccination which would be 4 doses when given intradermal route,visit your physician for appropriate approach.
