EYES (Specify):
FOOTWEAR(Specify):
OTHER (Specify):
CLOTHING (Specify):
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: LEAK AND SPILL PROCEDURES: Spills can be removed with a suitable absorbent. WASTE DISPOSAL: Dispose in accordance with local regulations at a government approved waste management site or
incinerator. STORAGE AND HANDLING REQUIREMENTS: Preventative measures for handling are like those for most chemicals,
observe good personal hygiene. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wash hands after work. Do not eat, drink or smoke when handling. Store in air tight containers, away from other chemicals. Store at room temperature, below 25 degrees Celsius. Protect from light. Keep this and all drugs out of the reach of children.
SECTION 8 – FIRST AID MEASURES Consult a doctor and/or nearest Poison Control Centre for all extreme exposures. Except minor instances of inhalation or skin contact. Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water and seek medical attention if any irritation or numbness persists. Skin: Wash affected areas with soap and water. Ingestion: Flush out mouth with water. Immediately seek medical attention and bring this safety data sheet along. Note to Physician: Persons developing hypersensitivity reactions much receive immediate medical attention. Sulfonamide drugs may cause kidney damage when overdoses are taken. The Sulfonamides bear certain chemical similarities to some goitrogens, diuretic and oral hypoglycemia agents. Goiter production, diuresis and hypoglycemia have occurred rarely in patients receiving sulfonamide. Inhalation:
