Carcinogen List
Substance
Emergency Overview
ONDANSETRON - ondansetron hydrochloride injection, is a solution containing ondansetron hydrochloride, a serotonin-blocking drug used intravenously or orally to prevent nausea and vomiting associated with the use of emetogenic cancer chemotherapy drugs, radiation induced nausea and vomiting, and to prevent post-operative nausea and vomiting. In the workplace, ondansetron hydrochloride should be considered a potent drug, possibly irritating to skin, and possibly severely irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract. Possible target organs include the central nervous system and liver. Product Name: Ondansetron Hydrochloride Injection, Solution


Occupational Exposure
Information on the absorption of this product via inhalation or skin contact is not available. Potential
Avoid liquid aerosol generation and skin contact.
Signs and Symptoms
In the workplace, this material should be considered potentially irritating to the skin, and possibly severely irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract. Respiratory sensitization and allergy-like effects have also been reported following occupational exposures. In clinical use, adverse effects may include headache, restlessness, dizziness, hypotension, fever, malaise, fatigue, and diarrhea or constipation. Infrequently, elevations in liver function parameters and extrapyramidal symptoms have been reported. Also, rash, hypersensitivity, fever, bronchospasm and wheezing have been reported.
Medical Conditions
Pre-existing hypersensitivity to ondansetron hydrochloride or other components in this product. Aggravated by Exposure Pre-existing central nervous system or liver ailments.

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye contact
Remove from source of exposure. Flush with copious amounts of water. If irritation persists or signs of toxicity occur, seek medical attention. Provide symptomatic/supportive care as necessary. Skin contact
Remove from source of exposure. Flush with copious amounts of water. If irritation persists or signs of toxicity occur, seek medical attention. Provide symptomatic/supportive care as necessary. Inhalation
Remove from source of exposure. If signs of toxicity occur, seek medical attention. Provide symptomatic/supportive care as necessary. Ingestion
Remove from source of exposure. If signs of toxicity occur, seek medical attention. Provide symptomatic/supportive care as necessary.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability
None anticipated from this aqueous product. Fire & Explosion Hazard
None anticipated from this aqueous product. Extinguishing media
As with any fire, use extinguishing media appropriate for primary cause of fire. Special Fire Fighting
No special provisions required beyond normal firefighting equipment such as Procedures
flame and chemical resistant clothing and self contained breathing apparatus. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill Cleanup and Disposal
Isolate area around spill. Put on suitable protective clothing and equipment as specified by site spill procedures. Absorb the liquid with suitable material and clean affected area with soap and water. Prevent entry into sewers and surface drainage systems. Dispose of spill materials according to the applicable federal, state, or local regulations. Product Name: Ondansetron Hydrochloride Injection, Solution

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
No special handling is required for hazard control under conditions of normal No special storage required for hazard control. For product protection, follow storage recommendations noted on the product case label, the primary container label, or the product insert. Special Precautions
No special precautions required for hazard control. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Guidelines
Exposure limits
Component
Respiratory
Respiratory protection is normally not needed during intended product use. However, if the protection
generation of aerosols is likely, and engineering controls are not considered adequate to control potential airborne exposures, the use of an approved air-purifying respirator with a HEPA cartridge (N95 or equivalent) is recommended under conditions where airborne aerosol concentrations are not expected to be excessive. For uncontrolled release events, or if exposure levels are not known, provide respirators that offer a high protection factor such as a powered air purifying respirator or supplied air. A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions require respirator use. Personnel who wear respirators should be fit tested and approved for respirator use as required. Skin protection
If skin contact with the product solution is likely, the use of latex or nitrile gloves is Eye protection
Eye protection is normally not required during intended product use. However, if eye contact is likely to occur, the use of chemical safety goggles (as a minimum) is recommended. Engineering Controls
Engineering controls are normally not needed during the intended use of this product.

Ingredient(s)
Administration

Aspiration Hazard
None anticipated from normal handling of this product. Dermal Irritation/Corrosion
None anticipated from normal handling of this product. Aqueous solutions of the active ingredient, ondansetron hydrochloride, are reported to be severely irritating/corrosive to the skin. Inadvertent contact of this product with skin may produce mild irritation. Ocular Irritation/Corrosion
None anticipated from normal handling of this product. Aqueous solutions of the active ingredient, ondansetron hydrochloride, are reported to be a severely irritating to the eyes. Inadvertent contact of this product with eyes or mucus membranes may produce irritation. Dermal or Respiratory
None anticipated from normal handling of this product. The active ingredient, Sensitization
ondansetron hydrochloride, was negative in a sensitization study in guinea Product Name: Ondansetron Hydrochloride Injection, Solution

pigs. However, in the workplace, possible effects of overexposure may include: symptoms of hypersensitivity (such as skin rash, hives, itching, and difficulty breathing). Reproductive Effects
Oral administration of ondansetron at dosages up to 15 mg/kg per day did not affect fertility or general reproductive performance of male and female rats. Reproduction studies in pregnant rats and rabbits using intravenous dosages up to 4 mg/kg per day have revealed no evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the fetus due to ondansetron. Mutagenicity
Ondansetron was not mutagenic in a standard battery of tests for mutagenicity. Carcinogenicity
Carcinogenic effects were not seen in 2-year studies in rats and mice with oral ondansetron dosages up to 10 and 30 mg/kg per day, respectively. Target Organ Effects
Based on clinical use, possible target organs include the central nervous system
