4. SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
4.1 Description of first aid measures
Inhalation IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position
comfortable for breathing. Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you
feel unwell.
Skin Contact IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. Take off contaminated
clothing and wash before reuse. If skin irritation occurs, get medical
advice/attention.
Eye Contact IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact
lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists: Get
medical advice/attention.
Ingestion If swallowed, rinse mouth with water (only if the person is conscious). Do not
induce vomiting. Obtain medical attention. If vomiting occurs spontaneously,
keep head below hips to prevent aspiration into the lungs.
4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and May cause drowsiness or dizziness. Central nervous depression. Causes eye
