SENSITIZATION
Sensitization: May cause allergic reaction. There are reports of
serious and sometimes fatal hypersensitivity (anaphylactic)
reactions occurring in people receiving penicillin therapy by
the parenteral route although it has also occurred via oral
administration. These reactions usually occur in individuals who
have a history of sensitivity to multiple allergens, asthma, hay
fever or urticaria. Ingestion has resulted in nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea, glossitis, stomatitis, enterocolitis, pseudomembranous
coloitis. Hypersensitivity reactions: erythematous maculopapular
rashes, erythema multiforme, urticaria and exfoliative dermatis.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE
To the best of our knowledge, the chemical, physical, and
toxicological properties have not been thoroughly investigated.
ROUTE OF EXPOSURE
Skin Contact: Causes skin irritation.
