Medical Attention: Information for the physician: The active ingredient, imidacloprid belongs to the
chemical group, chloronicotinyl or neonicotinoid. Therapeutic measures: Basic aid, decontamination,
symptomatic treatment. Symptoms: Local: None expected. Systemic: Apathetic state, depressed muscular
tone, respiratory disturbances and trembling. Muscular cramps are also possible in severe cases of
poisoning. Treatment: Local: See First Aid Measures above. Systemic: Symptomatic. Check blood
pressure and pulse rate frequently, as bradycardia and hypotonia are possible. Provide supportive measures
for respiratory function and cardiac action. Give artificial respiration if signs of paralysis appear.
Additional therapeutic measures involve elimination of the substance from the body of acceleration of its
excretion. Antidote: None known. Contraindications: Absorption promoting agents such as alcoholic
beverages and milk. Oils and fats are of no particular use, as the active ingredient has low liposolubility.

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Hazards from Combustion Products: In a fire, formation of hydrogen chloride, hydrogen cyanide,
carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides can be expected.
Extinguishing Media: Water, foam, extinguishing powder, carbon dioxide, sand.
Precautions for Fire Fighters: Firefighters should wear full protective gear, including self-contained
breathing apparatus. Keep unnecessary people away. If it can be done safely, remove intact containers
from the fire. Otherwise, use water spray to cool them. Bund area with sand or earth to prevent
contamination of drains or waterways. Dispose of fire control water or other extinguishing agent and
spillage safely later. Do not release contaminated water into the environment.
