Ingredient: Sucralfate
Concentration: 100% (pure powder or as formulated)
Impurities/ Additives: No hazardous impurities known at levels used for medication
Synonyms: Sucrose octasulfate aluminum complex, Sucrose, O-(tetra-O-sulfo-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-(O-(tetra-O-sulfo-alpha-D-fructofuranosyl)-(O-(tetra-O-sulfo-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-(O-(tetra-O-sulfo-alpha-D-fructofuranosyl)-(O-sulfo-aluminum))
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Seek medical advice if irritation, cough, or discomfort develops.
Skin Contact: Wash area with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing if irritation appears. Medical care for persistent effects.
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes with plenty of water for several minutes, keeping eyelids open. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do so. Consult healthcare attention with signs of discomfort.
Ingestion: Sucralfate used therapeutically should not cause harm in intended doses. If accidentally swallowed in unintentional or large amount, seek immediate medical care.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical or foam as needed.
Hazards from Combustion Products: Thermal decomposition may emit oxides of aluminum, sulfur oxides, and carbon oxides.
Firefighter Protection: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus with full protective gear. Avoid inhalation of any decomposition fumes.
Special Procedures: Maintain upwind position, isolate fire scene, prevent runoff to water sources.
Personal Precautions: Avoid generating dust. Wear adequate respiratory and eye protection if airborne powder is present.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into waterways, drains, or sewers. Contain spillage with absorbent materials.
Methods for Clean-Up: Sweep or vacuum up spills without raising dust, place in closed container for disposal. Wash spill area with water to remove powder residues.
Handling: Handle in a well-ventilated area. Avoid breathing dust or contact with eyes, skin, or clothing. Minimize release of particles.
Storage: Store in original container at room temperature, away from moisture, heat, and incompatible substances like strong acids or bases. Keep container tightly closed and labeled. Protect from direct sunlight and humidity.
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific exposure limits established for sucralfate. Follow standard dust exposure recommendations.
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation or work within a fume hood for powder handling.
Personal Protective Equipment: Gloves, laboratory coat, safety goggles, dust mask for airborne particles. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and clean before reuse.
