4.First-aid measures
4.1 Description of necessary first-aid measures
General advice
Consult a physician. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance.
If inhaled
If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult a physician.
In case of skin contact
Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a physician.
In case of eye contact
Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician.
If swallowed
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth with water. Consult a physician.
4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
no data available
4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
A 38-yr-old woman who by history ingested 13 g methylphenobarbital, alcohol, and 6 g acetaminophen became comatose slowly over 4 days. Acute hepatic injury appeared to impair the oxidative N-demethylation of methylphenobarbital to its product, phenobarbital. On the eighth day after ingestion she was treated because of protracted coma with Amberlite XAD-4 resin hemoperfusion. Hemoperfusion, which removed 0.83 g methylphenobarbital and 2.10 g phenobarbital, led to transient clinical improvement. When supportive patient management fails to produce a satisfactory clinical course in a methylphenobarbital-intoxicated patient, hemoperfusion could be a useful adjunct to therapy.
