(milk or water) to someone who is unconscious, having convulsions, or unable to swallow. If victim is convulsing, maintain
an open airway and obtain medical attention immediately. Provide product prescribing information.

INHALATION:
No inhalation exposure expected with this formulation under normal conditions of use. If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Contact a physician immediately.

HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:
Emits hazardous products of combustion.

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear.
Section 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS:

Wear suitable protective eyewear, clothing, respiratory protection, rubber boots and rubber gloves.
Evacuate immediate area. Ensure adequate ventilation. Refer to Section 8.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS:
Prevent spilled material from entering storm sewers or drains, waterways, and contact with soil.

METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR CONTAINMENT AND CLEANING UP:
Ventilate area. Contain spilled product. For small spills, add suitable absorbent material. Scoop up and place in an
appropriate liquid-tight container equipped with a tight cover for disposal. For large spills, dike spilled material or
otherwise contain material to ensure runoff does not reach a waterway. Place spilled material in an appropriate, liquid-
tight container equipped with a tight cover for disposal. Minimize contact of spilled material with soils to prevent runoff to
surface waterways.
Dispose of in accordance with Section 13.
Section 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE

HANDLING:
Use only in accordance with product literature. Wash thoroughly with warm water and soap after handling.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Not required during normal clinical use. Local exhaust ventilation should be provided when handling bulk product.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
Not required during normal clinical use.
Where risk assessment shows that air-purifying respirators are appropriate, a NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU) -certified air-
purifying respirator equipped with HEPA and organic vapor cartridges may be permissible under certain circumstances
where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits, when adequate oxygen is present and as a
backup to engineering controls. Use a positive pressure air-supplied respirator if there is any potential for an uncontrolled
release or any other circumstances where air purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.

SKIN PROTECTION:
Not required during normal clinical use. Wash thoroughly with warm water and soap after handling. Impervious chemical
resistant gloves and appropriate protective clothing are recommended when directly handling bulk product.

EYE PROTECTION:
Not required during normal clinical use. Appropriate eye protection is required when handling bulk product.
ADDITIONAL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING & EQUIPMENT:

No special recommendations during normal clinical use.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
Section 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

ACTIVE INGREDIENT(S):

RTECS No.:
MJ9669550
Latanoprost
Toxicity Data:

Mode of action:
Latanoprost is a prostanoid selective FP receptor agonist that is believed to reduce the intraocular pressure (IOP)
by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor. Studies in animals and man suggest that the main mechanism of
action is increased uveoscleral outflow.
Chronic Toxicity:
Apart from ocular irritation and conjunctival or episcleral hyperemia, the ocular effects of latanoprost administered
at high doses are not known. Intravenous administration of large doses of latanoprost in monkeys has been
associated with transient bronchoconstriction; however, in 11 patients with bronchial asthma treated with
latanoprost, bronchoconstriction was not induced. Intravenous infusion of up to 3 µg/kg in healthy volunteers
produced mean plasma concentrations 200 times higher than during clinical treatment and no adverse reactions
were observed. Intravenous dosages of 5.5 to 10 µg/kg caused abdominal pain, dizziness, fatigue, hot flushes,
nausea and sweating.
Teratogenicity:
Latanoprost (Xalatan) is a prostaglandin F2-alpha analog used in the treatment of intraocular hypertension.
Preclinical studies reported by the manufacturer (Pharmacia Corporation, Peapack NJ) indicate that 25% of
rabbits treated during pregnancy with 80 times the human dose had no viable fetuses at term. The highest rabbit
dose at which there were no adverse embryo effects was 15 times the human dose. No other information was
presented on reproductive or lactation effects. Prostaglandin F2-alpha has abortifacient and luteolytic effects and
it is not surprising that the analog would show adverse effects at high dose.

Reproduction Toxicology:

See Teratogenicity above. Impaired fertility demonstrated in dogs. Not listed as a developmental toxicant by The
State of California, as of June 9, 2006.

Mutagenicity:
Latanoprost is not mutagenic in bacteria, mouse lymphoma or in mouse micronucleus tests (Prod Info Xalatan(R),
Latanoprost, 1999).
