USER SAFETY WARNINGS:

USER SAFETY WARNINGS SECTION

Not for use in humans. Keep out of the reach of children.

Skin contact must be avoided as SwineMate® is readily absorbed through unbroken skin, and exposure may result in serious side effects to both women and men.

PREGNANT WOMEN OR WOMEN WHO MAY BE PREGNANT SHOULD NOT HANDLE SwineMate® (altrenogest). WOMEN OF CHILDBEARING AGE SHOULD EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN HANDLING THIS PRODUCT.

Accidental absorption, such as absorption through the skin, could lead to a disruption of the menstrual cycle or prolongation of pregnancy. Wash off accidental spillage on the skin immediately with soap and water. Any equipment or surfaces that come in contact with SwineMate® should be adequately cleaned and decontaminated to prevent human exposure.

PEOPLE WHO SHOULD NOT HANDLE SwineMate®:*

ACCIDENTAL EXPOSURE:

USER SAFETY WARNINGS SECTION

SwineMate® is readily absorbed from contact with the skin. In addition, this oil-based product can penetrate latex or other types of porous gloves. Always wear vinyl, neoprene, or nitrile protective gloves when handling SwineMate®. Latex gloves are not protective. If SwineMate® gets inside gloves by damage or spilling, the covered skin may absorb more of the drug. Side effects after a single exposure are possible; however, continued daily exposure has the potential for more serious effects.

IN CASE OF ACCIDENTAL EXPOSURE:

USER SAFETY WARNINGS SECTION

Skin exposure and/or clothing contamination: Wash skin immediately with soap and water, and launder clothing with detergent.
Eye exposure: Immediately flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention. If wearing contact lenses, flush eyes immediately with water before removing lenses.
If swallowed: Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately. SwineMate® contains an oil. Vomiting should be supervised by a physician because of possible pulmonary damage via aspiration of the oil base. If possible, bring the labeling to the physician.
