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.

Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on the left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. Poisons A and B
Suitable extinguishing media: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Amitriptyline hydrochloride

Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.
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.

AEROBIC: 3H-Labeled amitriptyline, present at 1 ug/g, exhibited half-lives of 34.1, 56.1 and 85.2 days using a loam soil, clay loam soil and sandy loam soil (all from Ontario, Canada), respectively, incubated at 30 deg C for 78 days. The major degradation product identified was amitriptyline-N-oxide; nortriptyline was also detected(1).
An estimated BCF of 820 was calculated in fish for amitriptyline(SRC), using a log Kow of 4.92(1) and a regression-derived equation(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high(SRC).
A log Koc of 3.56 (Kd = 138 L/kg), corresponding to a Koc of 3530, was measured using an agricultural soil (pH 6.3) from Corrstown, Co Dublin, Ireland(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this Koc value suggests that amitriptyline is expected to be immobile in soil. The estimated pKa of amitriptyline is 9.76(3), indicating that this compound will exist almost entirely in the cation form in the environment and cations generally adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(4). A sorption isotherm Kd of 2.8X10+3 has been reported using secondary sludge from the Klagshamn waste water treatment plant in Malmo City, Sweden(5). A Kd value of 1049 L/kg was measured using a digester sludge from wastewater treatment plant, Dublin Ireland (pH 6.3)(1).

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.
