4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayedSYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound include excitement, sleepiness, convulsions and rigidity. Other symptoms include leukopenia, agranulocytosis, drowsiness, confusion and stupor. Acute transitory myopia may occur. Central nervous system effects may also occur. It may cause an increase in blood pressure, mild hypotension, jaundice, extra-pyramidal reactions and photosensitivity. It may also cause dizziness, central nervous system depression, vomiting, local anesthesia, abdominal pain, diarrhea and dryness of the mouth, throat and nose. Symptoms of exposure to this type of compound include muscular weakness, tachycardia, nausea, sedation, tinnitus, lassitude, incoordination, fatigue, blurred vision, diplopia, euphoria, nervousness, insomnia, tremors, loss of appetite, epigastric distress, constipation, cough, urinary retention or frequency, dysuria, palpitation, headache, tightness of the chest, tingling, heaviness and weakness of the hands, allergic dermatitis, fever, hemolytic anemia (rare), fixed and dilated pupils, and flushing. In children, exposure can cause hallucinations, excitement, ataxia, incoordination, athetosis and convulsions. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: When heated to decomposition this compound emits toxic fumes of hydrochloric acid, sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides.
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessaryTreatment of phenothiazine overdosage generally involves symptomatic and supportive care. There is no specific antidote for phenothiazine intoxication; however, anticholinergic antiparkinsonian drugs may be useful in controlling extrapyramidal reactions associated with phenothiazine overdosage. Following acute ingestion of the drugs, the stomach should be emptied by gastric lavage and consideration also should be given to repeated doses of activated charcoal. If the patient is comatose, having seizures or a dystonic reaction, or lacks the gag reflex, gastric lavage may be performed if an endotracheal tube with cuff inflated is in place to prevent aspiration of gastric contents. Gastric lavage may be useful even several hours after the drug has been ingested, since GI motility may be greatly reduced following overdosage of phenothiazines. Induction of emesis should generally not be attempted, since a phenothiazine-induced dystonic reaction of the head or neck may result in aspiration of vomitus during emesis. Administration of a saline cathartic may be beneficial in enhancing evacuation of the drug from the GI tract, especially following ingestion of extended-release preparations (eg, Spansules). /Phenothiazine General Statement/
5.Fire-fighting measures 5.1 Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing mediaWater spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or foam as appropriate for surrounding fire and materials.

6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning upWear approved respiratory protection, chemically compatible gloves and protective clothing. Wipe up spillage or collect spillage using a high efficiency vacuum cleaner. Avoid breathing dust. Place spillage in appropriately labeled container for disposal. Wash spill site.
7.Handling and storage 7.1 Precautions for safe handlingAvoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use.Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. For precautions see section 2.2.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilitiesPromethazine hydrochloride preparations should be protected from light. Promethazine hydrochloride oral solution and tablets should be stored in tight, light-resistant containers at 15-30 and 20-25°C, respectively, while the rectal suppositories should be stored in well-closed containers at 2-8°C. Freezing of the oral solution should be avoided. Following the date of manufacture, commercially available promethazine preparations have expiration dates of 2-5 years depending on the dosage form and manufacturer.

10.2 Chemical stabilityIn general, promethazine HCl exhibits increasing stability with decreasing pH. /Promethazine HCl/
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactionsPROMETHAZINE HYDROCHLORIDE is sensitive to light. In aqueous solution, it is degraded by heat and light (more rapidly in air or oxygen). Incompatible with alkalis and alkaline solutions such as those of aminophylline, soluble barbiturates and phenytoin sodium. Iron(III) and copper(III) accelerate the degradation .
10.4 Conditions to avoidno data available
