Warning |
H317 | P302+P352 P333+P313 P362+P364 P261 P272 P280 P321 P501 |
The substance was reported to have sensitization potential in many documents containing the maximization test and Buehler test using guinea pigs (ECETOC TR 77 (1999)). The substance was recognized as one of the most frequently encountered skin sensitizer in Western Europe and North America with clinical sensitization rate ranging from 4 - 5% (ECETOC TR 77 (1999)). The substance was used as medicine for oral administration and for external use, and side effect generally reported was hypersensitivity (rash, itch, etc.) (Handbook of Japanese Pharmaceutical Drugs (2010)), and the substance was concluded as skin sensitizer for humans (ECETOC TR 77 (1999)). Based on these documents, the substance was classified as Category 1. | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |

Danger |
H370 | P308+P311 P260 P264 P270 P321 P405 P501 |
The substance was used as a topical anesthetic or analgesic drugs, there were multiple cases of methemoglobinemia even at the clinical dosage (PATTY, 5th (2001)). Hematotoxicity (methemoglobinemia) was described in the package insert of the drug as one of the side effects when ingested the substance used as a drug (Handbook of Japanese Pharmaceutical Drugs (2010), HSDB (2005)). Based on the information described above, the substance was classified as Category 1 (blood). | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 1 (blood) |
Danger |
H372 | P260 P264 P270 P314 P501 |
Based on the information that hematotoxicity (methemoglobinemia) was described in the package insert of the drug as one of the side effects when ingested the substance used as a drug (Handbook of Japanese Pharmaceutical Drugs (2010), HSDB (2005)), the substance was classified into Category 1 (blood). | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
