EPCRA 311/312 (Hazard categories): 16. Other Information
NFPA Hazard codes: Health : 2 Fire: 1 Reactivity: 0 Special: HMIS III rating
Safety Data Sheet Oxybutynin Hydrochloride Revision date : 2011/09/28
NFPA and HMIS use a numbering scale ranging from 0 to 4 to indicate the degree of hazard. A value of zero means that the substance possesses essentially no hazard; a rating of four indicates extreme danger. Although similar, the two rating systems are intended for different purposes, and use different criteria. The NFPA system was developed to provide an on-the-spot alert to the hazards of a material, and their severity, to emergency responders. The HMIS system was designed to communicate workplace hazard information to employees who handle hazardous chemicals. We support worldwide Responsible Care® initiatives. We value the health and safety of our employees, customers, suppliers and neighbors, and the protection of the environment. Our commitment to Responsible Care is integral to conducting our business and operating our facilities in a safe and environmentally responsible fashion, supporting our customers and suppliers in ensuring the safe and environmentally sound handling of our products, and minimizing the impact of our operations on society and the environment during production, storage, transport, use and disposal of our products.

Guideline Number 7: February 2011 Use of SERMs in Menopause Background Apart from the uterus and breasts – the main reproductive organs, oestrogen also acts on other tissues of the liver, brain, heart and bones. It acts on target tissues by binding to the oestrogen receptors which are located in the cell nucleus. The estrogen-receptor complex then binds to specific DNA sites and t
