POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS

SWALLOWED

  Accidental ingestion of the material may be damaging to the health of the individual.  The anabolic steroids produce the adverse effects exhibited by androgens but generally produce lessened masculinizing effects, especially in women.  Androgens can cause increased bone mass, blood concentrations of nitrogen, sodium, potassium, calcium and phosphates, water retention and swelling, and blood vessel growth in the skin. They may cause premature closure of growth plates in early puberty causing reduced height. Obstructive jaundice and abnormal liver function may result. Allergic reactions which affect the skin ar also present. Large doses can permanently reduce the production of sperm in males. In women, androgens affect the pituitary gland and inhibit menstruation and the production of female sex hormones. Prolonged administration of large doses can cause masculinization with hair growth, deep voice, atrophy of breast and endometrial tissue, acne, blackheads, and an enlarged clitoris. Sexual desire is increased, but milk production is reduced.  

EYE

  Although the liquid is not thought to be an irritant, direct contact with the eye may produce transient discomfort characterized by tearing or conjunctival redness (as with windburn).  

SKIN

  The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation following contact (as classified using animal models). Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable gloves be used in an occupational setting.  Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.  

INHALED

  The material is not thought to produce either adverse health effects or irritation of the respiratory tract following inhalation (as classified using animal models). Nevertheless, adverse effects have been produced following exposure of animals by at least one other route and good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable control measures be used in an occupational setting.  Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.  

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS

  Limited evidence suggests that repeated or long-term occupational exposure may produce cumulative health effects involving organs or biochemical systems.  Ample evidence from experiments exists that there is a suspicionthis material directly reduces fertility.
