Rinse mouth immediately and then drink plenty of water, seek medical attention.
Symptoms: The most important known symptoms and effects are described in the labelling (see
section 2) and/or in section 11.
Hazards: Respiratory sensitization may result in allergic (asthma-like) signs in the lower respiratory
tract including wheezing, shortness of breath and difficulty breathing, the onset of which may be
delayed.
Note to physician
Treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no
known specific antidote.
