NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: This product contains N-methyl carbamate insecticide that inhibits cholinesterase. Atropine is antidotal. Do not use 2-PAM, opiates, or cholinesterase-inhibiting drugs. All treatments should be based on observed signs of distress in the patient. Consideration should be given to the possibility that overexposure to materials other than this product may have occurred. Overexposure to this product may cause toxic signs and symptoms due to stimulation of the cholinergic nervous system. These effects of overexposure are spontaneously and rapidly reversible. Specific treatment consists of parenteral atropine sulfate. Improve tissue oxygenation as much as possible before administering atropine to minimize risk of ventricular fibrillation. Mild cases may be given 1 to 2 mg intramuscularly every 10 minutes until full atropinization has been achieved and repeated thereafter whenever symptoms reappear. Severe cases should be given 2 to 4 mg intravenously every 10 minutes until fully atropinized, and then intramuscularly every 30 to 60 minutes as needed to maintain the effect for at least 12 hours. Dosage for children should be appropriately reduced. Complete recovery is to be expected within 24 hours.
