SECTION 4: First aid measures
Description of necessary first-aid measures
Move the victim into fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration and consult a doctor immediately. Do not use mouth to mouth resuscitation if the victim ingested or inhaled the chemical.
Take off contaminated clothing immediately. Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a doctor.
Rinse with pure water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a doctor.
Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a doctor or Poison Control Center immediately.
Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Material is bioactive and capable of causing cardiac arrythmias and electrolyte imbalances that may be fatal. Death is due to ventricular fibrillation or cardiac standstill. Material has a high toxicity hazard rating; it may cause death or permanent injury after a very short exposure. It is classified as super toxic; an estimated single lethal dose is 3-10 mg. (EPA, 1998)
Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
Digoxin-immune Fab has been used to treat approximately 150 adults and children with life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias and/or hyperkalemia due to digoxin or digitoxin toxicity. In most cases, the patient failed to respond to conventional therapy, including atropine, lidocaine (xylocaine, and others), and phenytoin (dilantin and others). The pharmacokinetics /indicate that/ free serum digoxin or digitoxin concentrations drop to unmeasurable levels (< 0.2 ng/ml) less than one minute after iv injection of digoxin-immune Fab. Favorable changes in cardiac rhythm or serum potassium concn occur within 15 to 30 minutes. The antibody fragments and bound drug are excreted mainly by the kidneys, with an elimination half-life of about 15-20 hr in patients with normal renal function. Excretion may be slower in patients with renal impairment. ... In most patients, signs of toxicity disappeared within a few hours. The deaths that occurred were attributed mainly to inadequate amounts of antibody fragments available or irreversible heart failure. Since clinical use has been limited and the effects of repeated exposure are unknown, digoxin-immune Fab is not indicated for mild digitalis toxicity. It is recommended for patients in shock or cardiac arrest, or with ventricular arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation, progressive bradyarrhythmias, or second- or third-degree atrioventricular blocks not responsive to atropine.
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
Non-Specific -- Drugs or Medicines, Solid, n.o.s.) Avoid breathing dusts and fumes from burning material. Keep upwind. Wear boots, protective gloves, and goggles. (Non-Specific -- Drugs or Medicines, Solid, n.o.s.) Extinguish fire using agent suitable for type of surrounding fire (material itself burns with difficulty.) Use water in flooding quantities as fog. Use alcohol foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical. (EPA, 1998)
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
When heated to decomposition, it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. (EPA, 1998)
Special protective actions for fire-fighters
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing mist, gas or vapours.Avoid contacting with skin and eye. Use personal protective equipment.Wear chemical impermeable gloves. Ensure adequate ventilation.Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.
Environmental precautions
Prevent further spillage or leakage if it is safe to do so. Do not let the chemical enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Collect and arrange disposal. Keep the chemical in suitable and closed containers for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Adhered or collected material should be promptly disposed of, in accordance with appropriate laws and regulations.
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Digitoxin tablets should be stored in well-closed containers at 15-30 deg C.

Appropriate engineering controls
Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment (PPE)
Wear tightly fitting safety goggles with side-shields conforming to EN 166(EU) or NIOSH (US).
Wear fire/flame resistant and impervious clothing. Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.
If the exposure limits are exceeded, irritation or other symptoms are experienced, use a full-face respirator.

Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 5 was calculated for digitoxin(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.85(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
Mobility in soil
The Koc of digitoxin is estimated as 240(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.85(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that digitoxin is expected to have moderate mobility in soil(SRC).
Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
Disposal methods
The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
