Safety Description:A human poison by rectal route. Moderately toxic to humans by intramuscular route. Moderately toxic experimentally by inhalation, ingestion, intraperitoneal, and subcutaneous routes. Human systemic effects by rectal route: necrotic changes. A skin and severe eye irritant. Low doses produce hypnotic and analgesic effects. Larger doses depress the nervous system with loss of reflexes, coma, and respiratory depression leading to respiratory paralysis and death. Chronic effects include weight loss, muscular weakness, and mental fatigue. However, poisoning is rare. A hypnotic agent. Dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat, flame, or oxidizers. Slight explosion hazard when exposed to heat or flame. Dangerous; keep away from heat and open flame. To fight fire, use alcohol foam, CO₂, dry chemical. Potentially violent reaction with nitric acid. Incompatible with alkalies, hydrocyanic acid, iodides, oxidizers. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
