WARNINGS

Sterile Water for Injection, USP, should be used as diluent in preparing diluted aqueous solutions intended for use on deep wounds or for irrigation of body cavities. Otherwise, freshly distilled water should be used. Tap water, containing metallic ions and organic matter, may reduce antibacterial potency. Resin deionized water should not be used since it may contain pathogenic bacteria.

Organic, inorganic, and synthetic materials and surfaces may adsorb sufficient quantities of BenzaRid™ to significantly reduce its antibacterial potency in solutions. This has resulted in serious contamination of BenzaRid™ solutions with viable pathogenic bacteria. Solutions should not be stored in bottles stoppered with cork closures, but rather in those equipped with appropriate screw-caps. Cotton, wool, rayon, and other materials should not be stored in BenzaRid™ solutions. Gauze sponges and fiber pledgets used to apply solutions of BenzaRid™ to the skin should be sterilized and stored in separate containers. Only immediately prior to application should they be immersed in BenzaRid™ solutions.

Since BenzaRid™ solutions are inactivated by soaps and anionic detergents, thorough rinsing is necessary if these agents are employed prior to their use.

BenzaRid™ solutions must not be relied upon to achieve complete sterilization, because they may not not destroy bacterial, and certain viruses, including the etiologic agent of infectious hepatitis, and may not destroy Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other rare bacterial strains.

Hydrofluoric Acid Exposure

Hydrofluoric acid exposure: Soak ice chilled dressings in 1:750 BenzaRid, with exception of eyes. Applying newly soaked dressing every 5-10 minutes. Aqueous solution 1:750

ACCIDENTIAL INGESTION

If BenzaRid™ solution, particularly a concentrated solution, is ingested, marked local irritation of the gastrointestinal tract, manifested by nausea and vomiting, may occur. Signs of systemic toxicity include restlessness, apprehension, weakness, confusion, dyspnea, cyanosis, collapse, convulsions, and coma. Death occurs as a result of paralysis of the respiratory muscles.

Treatment: Immediate administration of several glasses of a mild soap solution, milk, or egg whites beaten in water is recommended.

To support respiration, the airway should be clear and oxygen should be administered, employing artificial respiration if necessary. If convulsions occur, a short-acting barbiturate may be given parenterally with caution.
