EYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. If symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop, immediately transport the victim to a hospital.

SMALL SPILLS AND LEAKAGE: If a spill of this chemical occurs, FIRST REMOVE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION, then you should dampen the solid spill material with acetone and transfer the dampened material to a suitable container. Use absorbent paper dampened with acetone to pick up any remaining material. Seal your contaminated clothing and the absorbent paper in a vapor-tight plastic bag for eventual disposal. Solvent wash all contaminated surfaces with acetone followed by washing with a soap and water solution. Do not reenter the contaminated area until the Safety Officer (or other responsible person) has verified that the area has been properly cleaned.

SRP: At the time of review, criteria for land treatment or burial (sanitary landfill) disposal practices are subject to significant revision. Prior to implementing land disposal of waste residue (including waste sludge), consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices.

RECOMMENDED RESPIRATOR: Where the neat test chemical is weighed and diluted, wear a NIOSH-approved half face respirator equipped with an organic vapor/acid gas cartridge (specific for organic vapors, HCl, acid gas and SO2) with a dust/mist filter. (NTP, 1992)

SULFONYLUREAS FOUND TERATOGENIC IN ANIMALS. /FROM TABLE, SULFONYLUREAS/

BIOASSAY CONDUCTED BY ADMINISTERING TEST CHEMICAL IN FEED TO FISCHER 344 RATS & B6C3F1 MICE FOR 103 WK. APPARENTLY ACETOHEXAMIDE WAS NOT CARCINOGENIC FOR EITHER SPECIES.

ACETOHEXAMIDE STIMULATED ENZYMES IN LIVER HOMOGENATES OF NORMAL & ALLOXAN-DIABETIC RATS. APPARENTLY DRUG INTERFERES WITH HEPATIC PROTEIN BIOSYNTHESIS & GLUCONEOGENESIS. ORAL.

... Groups of 35 male and female Fischer 344 rats were fed diets containing 10,000 or 20,000 ppm, acetoheximide for 103 wk. Matched controls consisted of 15 untreated rats of each sex. All surviving rats were killed at 105 to 107 wk. Groups of 35 male and female mice were fed diets containing a time-weighted avg of 6,359 or 12,718 ppm acetoheximide for 103 wk. Matched controls consisted of 15 untreated mice of each sex. All surviving animals were killed between 105 and 108 wk. Under the conditions of this study, acetohexamide was not carcinogenic in either Fischer 344 rats or B6C3F1 mice.
