EXPOSURE CONTROLS
The following materials had no OELs on our record under the following CAS or Chemwatch
(CW) numbers
• Equine Razor Wormer: No data available for CW:4614-46• praziquantel: No data available for CAS:55268-74-1• ivermectin: No data available for CAS:70288-86-7 CW:9538 INGREDIENT DATA
Airborne particulate or vapour must be kept to levels as low as is practicably achievable given access to modern engineering controls and monitoring hardware.
Biologically active compounds may produce idiosyncratic effects which are entirelyunpredictable on the basis of literature searches and prior clinical experience (bothrecent and past).
Therapeutic doses of 0.2 mg/kg do not produce signs of toxicity in avariety of species including humans.
There were no gross or histological changes seen in dogs treated withivermectin for 3 months (no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) =0.5 mg/kg/day) or in monkeys treated for 2 weeks (NOAEL = 1.2 mg/kg/day).
Changes in the spleen, bone marrow and kidneys were reported in ratstreated for 3 months (NOAEL = 0.4 mg/kg/day). Ivermectin produceddevelopmental toxicity in mice, rats and rabbits at or near dosage levelsthat were maternally toxic (NOAEL = 0.1 mg/kg/day in mice, the mostsensitive species). Neonatal rats are about 20 times more susceptible toivermectin than adult rats because the blood brain barrier is not fullydeveloped until after birth. There has been no evidence of teratogenicityin controlled studies in pregnant cattle, swine and dogs at up to threetimes the clinical dose nor has breeding performance been affected in continued.

various species.
The targeted clinical dosage of 0.15-0.2 mg/kg and doses in the range of3 to 12 mg are given according to body weight. Higher dosages (0.4 mg/kg)have been given to patients with lymphatic filariasis. For treatment ofonchocerciasis caused by Onchcerca volvulus, a leading cause of riverblindness in tropical areas), the drug is given only once every six ortwelve months. Ivermectin is metabolised in the liver and excreted almostexclusively in the faeces over a period of twelve days. The plasmahalf-life in man is about 10-12 hours for ivermectin and 3 days for itsmetabolites. Side-effects are not considered to be due to the toxicityof ivermectin as such, but are attributed to hypersensitivity reactionsresulting from the death of the microfilariae. In cases of accidentaloverdose with ivermectin, there have been no fatalities reported; howeversymptoms resemble those in animal studies.
An acceptable daily dose (ADI) of 0.8 mg/day was derived using the lowestdosage given clinically to adults (which is not associated with centralnervous system toxicity) and applying a 10 fold uncertainty factor toaccount for interindividual variability. The recommended exposure limit(0.08 mg/m³) recommended by Mercke, Sharp and Dohme, as an 8-hourTWA, and a wipe test criteria of 0.8 mg/100 cm2 were derived from the ADI.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
No special equipment for minor exposure i.e. when handling small quantities.
- OTHERWISE:- Safety glasses with side shields.
- Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb andconcentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lens orrestrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include areview of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an accountof injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removaland suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure,begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lensshould be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should beremoved in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDCNIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].
HANDS/FEET
RESPIRATOR
Selection of the Class and Type of respirator will depend upon the level of breathingzone contaminant and the chemical nature of the contaminant. Protection Factors (definedas the ratio of contaminant outside and inside the mask) may also be important.
** - Continuous-flow or positive pressure demand.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Harmful if swallowed.
Macrolides comprise a large group of antibiotics derived from Streptomyces spp. having incommon a macrocyclic lactone ring to which one or more sugars are attached. They are allweak bases. The most common side effect produced by the family of macrolide antibioticsis gastrointestinal discomfort. Supra-infections may occur although these are rare.
Several macrolides produced allergic sensitisation but, again, these are rare. Symptomsinclude watery eyes, shortness of breath, nasal congestion, choking, coughing andwheezing. Allergic skin reactions have also occurred. Exposure to at least on member ofthe family, erythromycin, at high concentrations, has produced reversible deafness(ototoxicity). Systemic reactions including fever, rash, and lymph-node pain or swelling continued.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
have been produced by the avermectin group. Ivermectin has produced ataxia(incoordination), lethargy, bradypnea (slowed breathing), vomiting, mydriasis (dilatedpupils), sedation, tremors and death in animals. The avermectin group (anthelmintics,insecticides and acaricides) mediate the transmission of gamma-butyric acid (GABA), aninhibitory neurotransmitter, in mammals thus causing paralysis. Hepatotoxic effects withtransient disturbances and jaundice have resulted from the use of oleandomycin. Transientalterations in heart rate/ rhythm have also been produced by several members of thefamily (notably tilmicosin). Heart muscle degeneration, characterised by small areas ofcell death have also been reported in animals exposed to tilmicosin. Cross-resistance isoften observed between the macrolide, lincosamide and streptogramin group of antibiotics.
Although the material is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC Directives),direct contact with the eye may produce transient discomfort characterised by tearing orconjunctival redness (as with windburn).
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and mayproduce on contact skin redness, swelling, the production of vesicles, scaling andthickening of the skin.
Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
There is some evidence from animal testing that exposure to this material may result intoxic effects to the unborn baby.
As with any chemical product, contact with unprotected bare skin; inhalation of vapour,mist or dust in work place atmosphere; or ingestion in any form, should be avoided byobserving good occupational work practice.
