Inhalation: Remove from exposure area to fresh air, seek medical attention for persistent symptoms such as coughing, shortness of breath, or wheezing
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected skin thoroughly with soap and water, seek medical advice if irritation or reaction persists
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes with plenty of water for 15 minutes, lifting eyelids to ensure complete rinsing, call for immediate medical help if irritation or vision changes occur
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, do not induce vomiting, call poison control and seek immediate medical attention
Note to Physician: Treat symptomatically, monitor for delayed and systemic effects
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, or foam for surrounding fire
Unsuitable Media: Avoid heavy water stream which may spread the substance
Fire Hazards: Flunixin Meglumine is not highly flammable but thermal decomposition can produce harmful gases
Explosion Hazards: Dust can form explosive mixtures in air if allowed to accumulate
Special Precautions: Use water spray to cool containers, avoid inhaling combustion products
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective suit
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen fluoride, other toxic vapors
Personal Precautions: Evacuate non-essential personnel, wear protective mask, gloves, goggles
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, waterways, soil; contain spills with absorbent materials such as sand or vermiculite
Cleanup Methods: Sweep up and collect spillage without raising dust, place in properly labeled containers for disposal as hazardous waste
Decontamination: Clean area with water and detergent, ventilate until thoroughly dry
Disposal: Consult regulatory agencies for environmentally safe disposal practices
Additional Advice: Consider suitability of PPE in the case of large quantities
Handling: Use only in areas with adequate ventilation; avoid creating dust, handle with gloves and eye/face protection, minimize exposure by working under fume hoods or using local exhaust ventilation; never eat, drink, or smoke in work area
Hygiene: Thoroughly wash after handling material, do not handle until safety precautions have been read and understood
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed original containers, away from light and incompatible chemicals; keep storage area cool, dry, and secure; restrict access to authorized personnel
Incompatibilities: Strong acids, oxidizers, and bases
Special Storage Considerations: Protect from moisture, keep separation from food, beverages, or animal feed
Exposure Limits: Not established for Flunixin Meglumine; recommend keeping airborne concentrations as low as possible
