Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:TEMPORARY NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION WITH
ANAESTHETIC EFFECTS SUCH AS DIZZINESS, HEADACHE, CONFUSION,
INCOORDINATION, LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS, IRREGULAR PULSE,
PALPITATIONS, INADEQUATE CIRCULATION, FROST BILTE, IRRITATION,
BLURRED VISION, TEARING
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INDIVIDUALS WITH PREEXISTING
DISEASES OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS OR CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM MAY HAVE
INCREASED SUSCEPTIBILITY TO THE TOXICITY OF EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE.

First Aid:GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IF NEEDED. EYE/SKIN:IMMEDIATELY FLUSH
WITH PLENTY OF WATER. INHALED:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR & PROVIDE
OXYGEN/CPR IF NEEDED. ORAL:INGESTION IS NOT CONSIDERED A POTENTIAL
ROUTE OF EXPO SURE. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:CATECHOLAMINE DRUGS SHOULD BE
USED WITH SPECIAL CAUTION ONLY IN SITUATIONS OF EMERGENCY LIFE
SUPPORT.
