POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS

SWALLOWED

  Not considered an irritant through normal use.  

EYE

  Not applicable.  

SKIN

  Skin contact with the material may damage the health of the individual; systemic effects may result following absorption.  Not applicable.  

INHALED

  Inhalation may produce health damage*.  Not applicable.  

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS

  Principal route of exposure is usually by ingestion.  The material may accumulate in the human body and progressively causetissue damage.  A small fraction of an ingested dose may be metabolically activated in the  liver and in the kidney to a form that reacts covalently with tissue  nucleophiles. Toxic doses of the drug presumably deplete liver stores of  reduced glutathione and the metabolite is then free to react with essential  tissue macromolecules resulting in cell death and necrosis.
