This product is a mineral oil based compound. Accidental injection/self-injection may result in severe pain and swelling and could result in the loss of the affected finger or thumb if prompt medical attention is not given. Ensure that the method of restraint, handling and administration e.g. by the use of guarded needles, minimises the risk of accidental injection/self-injection. If you are accidentally injected with this product go at once to the nearest accident and emergency (casualty) department of a hospital and show the information to the doctor (or nurse) on duty. Seek prompt medical advice even if a very small amount is injected. If pain persists for more than 12 hours after medical examination, seek further medical advice. Note to the doctor: Even if very tiny amounts have been injected, accidental injection with this oil-based product can cause intense swelling which may, for example, result in ischaemic necrosis and loss of a digit. Expert prompt surgical attention is required and may necessitate early incision and irrigation of the injected area, especially where there is involvement of finger pulp or tendon. If swallowed, get medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Skin contact: Wash affected areas with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. If irritation occurs or persists, get medical attention. Eye contact: Irrigate with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation develops. Spills should be absorbed onto inert, non-combustible material and disposed of in dry waste containers or incinerated. Under normal conditions of use the material is safe to handle. Store between 2-8oC, protected from sunlight. Do not freeze.
