NOTE TO PHYSICIAN
This product is a corrosive material. Gastric lavage or emesis may be contraindicated. Ingestion
or inhalation may result in shock, decreased blood pressure, pulmonary edema, CNS depression,
edema of the glottis with asphyxia, and perforation of the esophagus or stomach. Inhalation of
vapors or fumes may result in coughing, choking, and CNS effects followed after a 6-8 hour latent
period by pulmonary edema with tightness in the chest, air hunger, dizziness, frothy sputum, and
cyanosis. Physical findings may include moist rales, low blood pressure, and high pulse
pressure. Hemoptysis and dyspnea may continue for several weeks. Prednisolone may reduce
esophageal stricture formation.
