Section 4. First Aid Measures

• General advice : In the case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately. When symptoms persist or in all cases of doubt seek medical advice.
• If inhaled : If inhaled, remove to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
• In case of skin contact : Wash with water and soap. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
• In case of eye contact : If in eyes, rinse well with water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
• If swallowed : If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Rinse mouth thoroughly with water.
• Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed : If large amounts are ingested, the following symptoms may occur: Dizziness Nausea Vomiting Abdominal pain Symptoms and hazards refer to effects observed after intake of significant amounts of the active ingredient(s). Contact with dust can cause mechanical irritation or drying of the skin. Dust contact with the eyes can lead to mechanical irritation. This product contains a nicotinoid.
• Protection of first-aiders : First Aid responders should pay attention to self-protection, and use the recommended personal protective equipment when the potential for exposure exists (see section 8).
• Notes to physician : There is no specific antidote available. Treat symptomatically. In case of ingestion gastric lavage should be considered in cases of significant ingestions only within the first 2 hours. However, the application of activated charcoal and sodium sulphate is always advisable. Appropriate supportive and symptomatic treatment as indicated by the patient's condition is recommended.
