Exposure Guidelines:
Tadalafil - LEG 13 micrograms/m3 TWA for 12 hours.  LEG 20 micrograms/m3 TWA for 8 hours.  

Appearance: White powder finished as off-white to yellow film-coated tablets
Physical State: Solid
Odor: Odorless

Emergency Overview Emergency Overview Effective Date: 18-May-2002 Lilly Laboratory Labeling Codes: Health 0 Fire 1 Reactivity 0   Primary Physical and Health Hazards: Not hazardous if intact.   Caution Statement: Intact Tadalafil Tablets are not considered to be a health hazard.

Routes of Entry: Inhalation and skin contact.  

Effects of Overexposure: Tablets are intended for human consumption under guidance of a physician.  Intact coated tablets are not considered hazardous under normal handling procedures.  The active ingredient, Tadalafil, is considered highly potent based on clinical trial data.   Based on animal studies with Tadalafil, chronic overexposure by ingestion may cause testicular tissue changes and decreased sperm production.  However, two six-month human clinical studies reported no changes in sperm parameters.  The most common adverse effects related to drug treatment were headache, lower back pain, and vasodilation (flushing), which can result in transient decreases in blood pressure.    

Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:
Tadalafil - Individuals on nitrate or alpha blocker therapy.  

Carcinogenicity:
Tadalafil - Not listed by IARC, NTP, ACGIH, or OSHA.  Not carcinogenic to rats or mice when administered for 24 months.  

Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water.  Get medical attention.  

Skin: Remove contaminated clothing and clean before reuse.  Wash all exposed areas of skin with plenty of soap and water.  Get medical attention if irritation develops.  

Inhalation: Move individual to fresh air.  Get medical attention if breathing difficulty occurs.  If not breathing, provide artificial respiration assistance (mouth-to-mouth) and call a physician immediately.  

Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting.  Call a physician or poison control center.  If available, administer activated charcoal (6-8 heaping teaspoons) with two to three glasses of water.  Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.  Immediately transport to a medical care facility and see a physician.  

Flash Point: No applicable information found
UEL: No applicable information found
LEL: No applicable information found

Extinguishing Media: Use water, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam, or Halon.  

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: As a finely divided material, may form dust mixtures in air which could explode if subjected to an ignition source.  

Hazardous Combustion Products: May emit toxic fumes when exposed to heat or fire.  

The following are recommended for manufacturing or other situations where exposure to the capsule contents or tablet powder may occur.  

Spills: Vacuum material with appropriate dust collection filter in place.  Be aware of potential for dust explosion when using electrical equipment.��If vacuum is not available, lightly mist material and remove by sweeping or wet wiping.  Wear protective equipment, including eye protection, to avoid exposure (see Section 8 for specific handling precautions).  

Storage Conditions: Controlled Room Temperature:  15 to 30 C (59 to 86 F).  

See Section 2 for Exposure Guideline information.  

  Coated compressed tablets are not considered hazardous under normal handling procedures and protective equipment is not required.  The following are recommended for manufacturing or other situations where exposure to the powder may occur.  

Respiratory Protection: Use an approved respirator.  

Eye Protection: Safety glasses.  

Ventilation: Laboratory fume hood or local exhaust ventilation.  

Other Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves and body covering to minimize skin contact.  If handled in a ventilated enclosure, as in a laboratory setting, respirator and goggles or face shield may not be required.  Safety glasses are always required.  

Additional Exposure Precautions: In production settings, airline-supplied, hood-type respirators are preferred.  Shower and change clothing if skin contact occurs.

Acute Exposure
No data available for mixture or formulation.  Data for ingredient(s) or related material(s) are presented.  

Oral:
Tadalafil - Rat, 2000 mg/kg, no deaths or toxicity.  

Skin:
Tadalafil - Rabbit, 1000 mg/kg, no deaths, soft stools.  

Inhalation: No applicable information found.  

Skin Contact:
Tadalafil - Rabbit, slight irritant  

Eye Contact:
Tadalafil - Rabbit, slight irritant  

Chronic Exposure
No data available for mixture or formulation.  Data for ingredient(s) or related material(s) are presented.  

Target Organ Effects:
Tadalafil - Repeated oral doses of tadalafil for more than six months resulted in decreased testicular weight in dogs.  The decreased testes weights (reported at doses of 25 mg/kg/day and above in the 12-month study) correlated with degeneration and atrophy of the seminiferous epithelium.  Decreased sperm in the epididymes was also reported with aspermia in the most severely affected dogs. No effects on semen parameters reported in humans after six-months of daily dosing (10 or 20 mg/day).  When administered orally for 5 or 28 days at 5 mg/kg/day, blood pressure was reduced in rats.  No significant findings were reported in rats or mice administered up to 800 mg/kg by oral gavage for up to 3 months.  

Reproduction:
Tadalafil -  There was no impairment of fertility in male and female rats.  In beagle dogs given tadalafil daily for 6 to 12 months at doses of 25 mg/kg/day and above, there were alterations to the seminiferous tubular epithelium that resulted in a decrease in spermatogenesis in some dogs.  These findings were not observed in rats or mice.  Furthermore, in men taking tadalafil 10 or 20 mg/daily for 6 months, there were no clinically relevant effects on sperm concentration, count, motility, or morphology.  Additionally, there were no significant effects of serum levels of testosterone, luteinizing hormone, or follicle stimulating hormone.  There was no evidence of teratogenicity, embryotoxicity or fetotoxicity in rats or mice that received up to 1000 mg/kg/day.  In a rat pre- and postnatal development study, the observed no effect dose was 30 mg/kg/day.    

Sensitization: No applicable information found.  

Mutagenicity:
Tadalafil - Not mutagenic or genotoxic in in vitro bacterial and mammalian cell assays, and in vitro human lymphocytes, and in vivo rat micronucleus assays.  

No environmental data for the mixture or formulation.  The environmental information for ingredient(s) or related material(s) are presented.

Environmental Summary:
Tadalafil - Material was not toxic to aquatic organisms at highest concentration tested and is expected to be practically non-toxic to aquatic organisms due to low solubility.  Material is not expected to bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms.  Material is not expected to be degraded by microorganisms in the soil and water.  Material is practically insoluble in water and is not expected to leach significantly from soil into groundwater.  Measurable concentrations in the atmosphere are not expected since it is a non-volatile solid.
