This product contains methanol which can cause intoxication and central nervous system depression. Methanol is metabolised to formic acid and formaldehyde. These metabolites can cause metabolic acidosis, visual disturbances and blindness. Onset of symptoms may be delayed 6 to 30 hours after ingestion. Ethanol has been used to prevent methanol metabolism. Methanol is effectively removed by hemodialysis. Section 5.
