Dexchlorpheniramine competes with histamine for H1-receptor sites on effector cells in the gastrointestinal tract, blood vessels, and respiratory tract. Dexchlorpheniramine is the predominant active isomer of chlorpheniramine and is approximately twice as active as the racemic compound (Moreno 2010).

Developmental Toxicity
N/A. Repeated exposure to an highly toxic material may produce general deterioration of health by an accumulation in one or many human organs.
Eye Contact
Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes. Keeping eyelids open. Cold water may be used.
Skin Contact
No known effect on skin contact, rinse with water for a few minutes.
Serious Skin Contact
N/A
Inhalation
Allow the victim to rest in a well-ventilated area. Seek immediate medical attention.
Serious Inhalation
Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek medical attention.
Ingestion
Do not induce vomiting. Examine the lips and mouth to ascertain whether the tissues are damaged, a possible indication that the toxic material was ingested; the absence of such signs, however, is not conclusive. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If the victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Seek immediate medical attention.

Small Spill
Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container.
Large Spill
Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container.
Precaution
Keep locked up Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Empty containers pose a fire risk, evaporate the residue under a fume hood. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not ingest. Do not breathe dust. Wear suitable protective clothing In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment If ingested, seek medical advice immediately and show the container or the label.
Storage
Keep container dry. Keep in a cool place. Ground all equipment containing material. Keep container tightly closed. Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place. High toxic or infectious materials should be stored in a separate locked safety storage cabinet or room.
Engineering Controls
Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.
Personal Precautions
Safety glasses. Lab coat.
Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill
Splash goggles. Full suit. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self-contained breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this product.
