Signalword: Danger Label: Precautionary statements: P201 Obtain special instructions before use. P273 Avoid release to the environment. P280 Wear protective gloves/ protective clothing / eye protection / face protection. P302 + P352 IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of water/& P309 + P310 IF exposed or if you feel unwell: Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. P305 + P351 + P338 IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing Other hazards women of childbearing potential have to avoid any overexposure (limit values see chapter 8) may form explosible dustair mixture if dispersed SECTION 3: Composition/information on ingredients Characterization Chemical name Synonyms pharmaceutical active substance in the class of retinoides 3,7Dimethyl9(2,6,6trimethyl1cyclohexene1yl) 2cis4,6,8nonatetraenic acid Isotretinoin (INN) 13cisRetinoic acid 13cisVitamin A acid Roaccutane Page: 2/8

Description of first aid measures Eye contact Skin contact Inhalation rinse immediately with tap water for at least 20 minutes open eyelids forcibly consult a physician remove immediately contaminated clothes, wash affected skin with water and soap do not use any solvents remove the casualty to fresh air and keep him/her calm get medical treatment 4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed 4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed to physician treat symptomatically in case of suspected ingestion consider analysis of biological material (protect blood samples from light) SECTION 5: Firefighting measures 5.1. Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing media water spray jet, dry powder, foam, carbon dioxide 5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture Specific hazards very high probability of ignition of dust whirled up substance is hazardous for water: contain firefighting wastewater Page: 3/8

4 5.3. Advice for firefighters Protection of firefighters Special method of firefighting precipitate gases/vapours/mists with water spray for reasons of environmental protection hold the extinguishing agent back SECTION 6: Accidental release measures 6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Personal precautions prevent any exposure 6.2. Environmental precautions Environmental protection do not allow to enter drains or waterways if the substance reaches waters or the sewer system, inform the competent authority 6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up Methods for cleaning up collect solids (avoid dust formation) and hand over to waste removal clean contaminated areas with little ethanol SECTION 7: Handling and storage 7.1. Precautions for safe handling Technical measures Suitable materials processing in closed systems, superposed by inert gas (exception possible for dry product < 50kg) local exhaust ventilation necessary take precautionary measures against electrostatic charging avoid dust formation; very high dust explosion hazard connect conductive pieces of equipment, products and packaging to earth handling under inert conditions stainless steel 7.2.
