SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SECTION 5 - FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Extinguisher Media: Water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam as appropriate for surrounding fire and materials.
Firefighting Procedures: As with all fires, evacuate personnel to a safe area. Firefighters should use self-contained breathing
equipment and protective clothing.
Fire and Explosion Hazards: This material is assumed to be combustible.
As with all dry powders, it is advisable to ground mechanical equipment in contact with dry material to
dissipate the potential buildup of static electricity.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE

CAS: 202138-50-9
RTECS Number: SZ6563700
Chemical Family: n/f
Therapeutic Category: Nucleotide analog HIV-1 reverse transcriptase and HBV polymerase inhibitor
Composition: Pure Material
Inhalation: May cause irritation. Remove to fresh air.
Eye: Causes severe irritation. Flush with copious quantities of water for at least 15 minutes.
Skin: May cause irritation. Flush with copious quantities of soap and water.
Ingestion: May cause irritation. Flush out mouth with water.
General First Aid Procedures: Remove from exposure. Remove contaminated clothing. For treatment advice, seek guidance from an
occupational health physician or other licensed health-care provider familiar with workplace chemical
exposures. In the United States, the national poison control center phone number is 1-800-222-1222. If
person is not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen if available.
Persons developing serious hypersensitivity (anaphylactic) reactions must receive immediate medical
attention.
Note to Physicians
Overdose Treatment: Treatment of tenofovir overdose should be symptomatic and supportive and may include the following:
1. Administer activated charcoal as a slurry.
2. For seizures, administer benzodiazepine IV. Consider phenobarbital or propofol if seizures recur. Monitor
for hypotension, dysrthymias, respiratory depression, and need for endotracheal intubation. Evaluate for
hypoglycemia, electrolyte disturbances, hypoxia.
3. Severe metabolic acidosis should be corrected with IV sodium bicarbonate. Monitor blood gases to guide
bicarbonate therapy. Riboflavin and L-carnitine should be used to treat patients with lactic acidosis associated
with nucleoside analogs.
4. Monitor complete blood counts, serum electrolytes, renal and liver function tests, pancreatic enzymes and
CPK, and peripheral neuropathy. Cardiac monitoring is recommended. [Meditext, 2009]
Spill Response: Wear approved respiratory protection, chemically compatible gloves, and protective clothing. Wipe up spillage or
collect spillage using a high-efficiency vacuum cleaner. Avoid breathing dust. Place spillage in appropriately labeled
container for disposal. Wash spill site.
Handling: As a general rule, when handling USP Reference Standards, avoid all contact and inhalation of dust, mists, and/or vapors
associated with the material. Clean equipment and work surfaces with suitable detergent or solvent after use. After removing
gloves, wash hands and other exposed skin thoroughly.

TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL FUMARATE
Catalog Number: 1643656 Revision Date: December 2, 2009
Storage: Store in tight container as defined in the USP-NF. This material should be handled and stored per label instructions to ensure
product integrity.
Respiratory Protection: Where respirators are deemed necessary to reduce or control occupational exposures, use NIOSH-approved
respiratory protection and have an effective respirator program in place (applicable U.S. regulation OSHA 29
CFR 1910.134).
Gloves: Chemically compatible. For handling solutions, ensure that the glove material is protective against the solvent being used. Use
handling practices that minimize direct hand contact. Employees who are sensitive to natural rubber (latex) should use nitrile
or other synthetic nonlatex gloves. Use of powdered latex gloves should be avoided due to the risk of latex allergy.
This material is extremely irritating to skin. To reduce the risk of contamination of skin and surfaces, wear two pairs of gloves.
Remove the outer gloves after handling and cleanup of the material, and remove the inner gloves only after removing other
personal protective equipment.
Eye Protection: Safety glasses with sideshields are recommended. Face shields or goggles may be required if splash potential exists or
if corrosive materials are present. Approved eye protection (e.g., bearing the ANSI Z87 or CSA stamp) is preferred.
Maintain eyewash facilities in the work area.
Protective Clothing: For handling of laboratory scale quantities, a cloth lab coat is recommended. Where significant quantities are
handled, work clothing may be necessary to prevent take-home contamination.

Specific Gravity: n/f
Vapor Pressure: n/f
Vapor Density: n/f
Solubility in Water: Sparingly soluble
Appearance and Odor: White to off-white crystalline powder; odorless.
Evaporation Rate: n/f
Engineering Controls: Airborne exposure should be controlled primarily by engineering controls such as general dilution ventilation,
local exhaust ventilation, or process enclosure. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred to general
exhaust because it can control the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion into the work area. An
industrial hygiene survey involving air monitoring may be used to determine the effectiveness of engineering
controls. Effectiveness of engineering controls intended for use with highly potent materials should be assessed
by use of nontoxic surrogate materials.
Avoid any open handling of this material, particularly for grinding, crushing, weighing, or other dust-generating
or aerosol-generating procedures. Use a laboratory fume hood, vented enclosure, glovebox, or other effective
containment.

Other Carcinogenicity Data: Long-term oral carcinogenicity studies of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in mice and rats were carried out
at exposures up to approximately 16 times (mice) and 5 times (rats) those observed in humans at the
therapeutic dose for HIV-1 infection. At the high dose in female mice, liver adenomas were increased at

mg/kg/day and revealed no evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the fetus due to
tenofovir. In pregnancy exposure studies to tenofovir in the first trimester, no increases in
birth defects have been observed.
