Sertraline ingestion

I have two cats, both just over 3 years old.

I'd just finished deep cleaning my bedroom and opened the door to let the cats in while I took a shower. When I came back about 30 minutes later I saw two of my 100mg sertraline pills on the floor.

I know I had a few pills laying loose in a drawer and they might've fallen out during the clean, but I can't remember how many and I don't know if the cats got to them while I was away.

Neither of them are showing any symptoms as far as I can tell, but this could have happened anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour ago.

It seems excessive to go to the emergency vet when I'm not even sure if they got to any of the pills, and they're not showing any symptoms, but I really wanna keep an eye on them.

Any particular signs I should look out for? How often should I check on them? How long before we're in the clear?
