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.
SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound can include, dermatitis, hair growth, rash, pruritus, erythema annulare centrifugum; anorexia, gastritis, gastrointestinal changes, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, ulcer perforation upon withdrawal; hepatitis, jaundice, increases in serum creatinine and liver enzymes, changes in kidney tubules, interstitial nephritis and possible renal failure; hypotension, increased body temperature, sweating; muscle weakness and/or pain; endocrine changes, gynecomastia; leukopenia, agranulocytosis, thrombocytopenia; transient psychosis, confusion, disorientation, agitation, hallucinations, dizziness, somnolence, headache, fatigue, malaise; loss of libido and impotence. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: When heated to decomposition this compound emits very toxic fumes of NOx and SOx. (NTP, 1992)
Rapid 60-70%
Fires involving this material can be controlled with a dry chemical, carbon dioxide or Halon extinguisher. (NTP, 1992)
Flash point data for this compound are not available. It is probably combustible. (NTP, 1992)
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Preserve in tight, light resistant containers at controlled room temperatures.

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.

An estimated BCF value of 1.2 was calculated for cimetidine(SRC), using an experimental log Kow of 0.40(1) and a recommended regression-derived equation(2). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), this BCF value suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms will not be an important fate process(SRC).
The Koc of cimetidine is estimated as approximately 39(SRC), using an experimental log Kow of 0.40(1) and a regression-derived equation(2,SRC). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that cimetidine should have very high mobility in soil(SRC). However, cimetidine will exist in both the undissociated and cation form under environmental conditions (pH 5-9), (pKa of 6.8)(4), and no experimental data are available to indicate whether the cation will adsorb to soil more strongly than its estimated Koc value for the undissociated form indicates(SRC).

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.
