Potential health effects

The toxicological properties of the mixture(s) have not been fully characterized in humans or animals. However, there are data to describe the toxicological properties of the individual ingredients. The following summary is based upon available information about the individual ingredients of the mixture(s), or of the expected properties of the mixture(s). The following summary is based upon available information about the individual ingredients of the mixture, or of the expected properties of the mixture. Cloprostenol sodium is a synthetic analog of prostaglandin. Prostaglandin compounds act on smooth muscles to induce abortions, and may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Cloprostenol sodium stimulates smooth muscles (e.g. alimentary tract and cardiovascular systems) and may cause abortions in humans. Inhalation or skin absorption may cause bronchospasms characterized by difficulty in breathing. Cloprostenol sodium has also been reported to cause a change in intraocular (internal eye) fluid pressure. LISTED CARCINOGENS No carcinogens or potential carcinogens listed by OSHA, IARC, NTP or ACGIH are present in concentrations >0.1% in this mixture.
