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 chemical include nausea, vomiting, headache, sore gums, flushing, dizziness, urinary frequency and anemia. On rare occasions an anaphylactic reaction or a hypersensitivity reaction with fever, dermatitis and pruritis has occurred, and there have been reports of hepatic necrosis, the nephrotic syndrome and aplastic anemia. Exposure may precipitate an acute attack of gout, and renal colic or renal calculi with or without hematuria may occur. It may also cause gastrointestinal upset. Other symptoms include urticaria, nephrosis, coma and status epilepticus. In massive overdosage, stimulation of the central nervous system with convulsions and death from respiratory failure may occur. Exposure may also cause increased plasma concentrations of methotrexate, costovertebral pain, precipitation of acute gouty arthritis, anorexia, leukopenia, alopecia and hemolytic anemia (which could be related to genetic deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in red blood cells). It may also cause skin rashes. It may occasionally cause drug fever. Jaundice, asthma and eosinophilia have preceded a massive hepatic necrosis. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: When heated to decomposition this compound emits very toxic fumes of SOx and NOx. (NTP, 1992)
In acute probenecid overdosage, it has been recommended that the stomach be emptied immediately by inducing emesis or by gastric lavage.
Fires involving this material can be controlled using a dry chemical, carbon dioxide or Halon extinguisher. (NTP, 1992)
Flash point data for this chemical 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.
Store the container tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Store apart from foodstuff containers or incompatible materials.

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.

Probenecid tablets should be stored in well closed containers at a temperature less than 40 deg C, preferably between 15-30 deg C. Commercially available preparations containing probenecid and colchicine should be protected from light. Following the date of manufacture, commercially available probenecid tablets have an expiration date of 3-5 yr depending on the packaging.
PROBENECID may be light sensitive (NTP, 1992).

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.
