In case of fire, use extinguishing media appropriate for the surrounding materials. Thermal
decomposition of the solutions may release vapour and oxides of carbon.
Heat build up may cause container rupture and spillage of contents.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Aqupharm solutions are sterile non pyrogenic solutions intended to be administered on the
direction of an appropriate veterinary professional.
Due to the special design of these containers, it is not anticipated that employees will be exposed
to these solutions during their handling or administration, and thus chronic exposure of employees
to these products is extremely unlikely. Accidental exposure to these products is not considered a
health hazard.
Eye and Skin Contact:
Concentrated solutions of electrolytes and glucose may cause irritation and general discomfort.
Inhalation:
The product presentations make accidental exposure by this route extremely unlikely. Inhalation of
the active ingredients of these solutions may produce irritation and general discomfort.
Ingestion:
The product presentations make this route of exposure unlikely. However, ingestion of strong
electrolyte, particularly saline solutions, may be irritating or emetic.
