This product contains bromadiolone, an indirect anticoagulant. Any signs of poisoning are unlikely to occur until 12-18 hours after ingestion. Thereafter, they will develop progressively and may rapidly appear. Clinical signs result from an increased bleeding tendency and include: an increase in prothrombin time, bruising easily with occasional gum bleeding, blood in the stool or urine, excessive bleeding from minor cuts and abrasions, pale mouth and cold gums, anorexia and general weakness. More severe cases of poisoning include haemorrhage (usually internal) and shock. This product is hazardous to mammals including domesticated animals, and birds if ingested. Exposure of non-target animals should be prevented. 3.

Skin contact: Wash skin with soap and water. Eye contact: Wash out eye with plenty of water. Obtain medical advice if necessary. Advice to doctor: Bromadiolone is an indirect anticoagulant. Vitamin K1 (phytomenadione) is antidotal. In the case of suspected poisoning, determine prothrombin time not less than 18 hours after consumption. If elevated, administer vitamin K1, 40mg/day for adults and 20mg/day for children in divided doses. Continue until prothrombin times normalise. Continue determination of prothrombin time for two weeks after withdrawal of the antidote and resume treatment if elevation occurs in that time. N.B. Vitamin K3 is not effective.
