Injected: Effects will vary in severity according to the quantity involved, from localised site reaction
(pain, redness, swelling), to acute systemic reaction. Treat as for needlestick injury. Wash area well and disinfect. If other symptoms are evident, seek medical advice.
Chronic: Prolonged or repeated exposure may result in acne, oedema, weight gain, headache,
depression and alteration in liver function. Advice to Doctor: Contains hydroxyprogesterone hexanoate, which is a progesterone compound, rapidly
inactivated in the liver. Treat symptomatically.
Flash Point: Not flammable. Non combustible. Hazardous Combustion: If involved in a fire, may emit noxious or irritating fumes. Extinguishing Media: There is no restriction on the type of extinguisher which may be used. Use extinguishing
media suitable for surrounding area. Protective Equipment: Protective gloves and breathing apparatus. A gas tight chemical resistant suit may be
required for large fires. HAZCHEM Code: None specified. Special hazards: Avoid contamination with oxidising agents i.e. nitrates, oxidising acids, chlorine bleaches as
ignition may result.
Spills and Disposal: Avoid inhalation and contact with skin and eyes when cleaning up any spills. Wear
appropriate protective clothing. Exclude non-essential people from the area and move upwind. Neutralise small spills with sodium hypochlorite solution. Contain spill and sweep up / absorb with inert material such as soil, sand or absorbent granules and place in a sealable waste container. Ventilate area and wash spill site after pick-up complete. Dispose of waste safely in an approved landfill. For large spills, alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.
Protective Clothing: For appropriate personal protective equipment see section 8. Environmental Prevent from entering drains, waterways or sewers. If spill does enter waterways contact Precautions: local authority.
Handling: Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Care is required to avoid self-
injection. Use personal protective equipment as required. When handling, DO NOT eat, drink or smoke. DO NOT allow clothing wet with material to stay in contact with skin.
Storage: Keep out of reach of children. Store below 30ºC, locked up. Protect from light Other Information: Always read the APVMA-approved label before use. See label for further information on
handling and storage.

Acute Toxicity: Ingestion: No data for the mixture is available. The material has not been classified by EC
Directives or other classification systems as “harmful by ingestion”. This is because of lack of corroborating animal or human evidence.
Benzyl alcohol: Oral LD50 (rat) 1230 mg / kg. Benzyl benzoate: Oral LD50 (mouse) 1600 mg / kg.
Inhalation: No data for the mixture is available. Based on available data for the ingredients, the mixture is not thought to produce either adverse health effects or irritation of the respiratory tract following inhalation.
Injection: Localised site reaction may occur. Skin Corrosion / Irritation: Skin irritant. Serious Eye Damage / Irritation: Mild irritant. Respiratory or
Skin Sensitisation: There is limited evidence that, skin contact with this mixture is more likely to cause a
sensitisation reaction in some persons compared to the general population. Mutagenicity: No data for the mixture is available. Based on available data for the ingredients, the mixture is
not considered to be mutagenic. Carcinogenicity: No data for the mixture is available. Based on available data for the ingredients, the mixture is
not considered to be carcinogenic. Reproductivity: There is some evidence from animal testing that exposure to Hydroxyprogesterone may result
in toxic effects to the foetus. STOT - Single Exposure: May cause respiratory tract irritation. Aspiration Hazard: No data available.
Ecotoxicity: Slightly harmful in the aquatic environment. Do not empty into drains. Hydroxyprogesterone hexanoate: Aquatic (fish): LC50 (96 hr): 0.163mg/L
