Toxicity to Animals
Special Remarks on May cause adverse reproductive effects and birth defects.
Chronic Effects on Humans May affect genetic material.
May cause cancer
Special Remarks on other Potential Effects of Overexposure:
Toxic Effects on Humans Anabolic steroid
Skin: May cause skin irritation. May be absorbed through skin
Eyes: Dust may cause eye irritation.
Inhalation: Dust may cause respiratory tract irritaiton.
Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal tract irritation with upset stomach or stomach pain, nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea. May cause water and salt retention (edema), weight gain, acne and muscular development. Other
symptoms may include headache, unusual tiredness, dizziness, trouble sleeping, increased pubic hair growth,
change in sex drive. Females may also experience virilizing side effects such as facial hair, deepening of the
voice, and menstrual irregularities. Effects of chronic overexposure in women include male-pattern baldness,
excessive body hair, prominant musculature, and hypertrophy of the clitoris, decreased breast size, oily skin,
impaired fertility. Effects generally slowly subside on discontinuation of exposure, but with prolonged
overexposure in women some effects may become irreversible. Overexposure in males may lead to feminizing
side effects (breast enlargement and or soreness), and decreased spermatogenesis or impaired fertility due to
inhibition of gonadotropin secretion and metabolic conversion of androgens to estrogens. Other symptoms of
overexposure in males may include frequent or continuing erections, chills, pain in the scrotum or groin, difficulty
urinating, decreased testicle size, and aggressive behavior.
May also affect blood(clotting disorders, elevated cholesterol levels, change in red blood cell count), and liver.
Effects on the liver may cause yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice).
Chronic exposure may cause hypersensitization, masculinization in females, heart problems in males, impaired
fertility in males and females and cancer.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Hypersensitivity to material, males with breast or prostate cancer,
hypercalcemia resulting from osteolysis, pre-exisiting liver, kidney, or heart problems, and enlarged prostate gland.
