difficulty in sleeping, anxiety, nervousness, abdominal pain, vomiting and headache and large doses may cause damage to the liver. Naltrexone has been investigated for mutagenic and reproductive effects. The drug literature indicates that it has been shown to have embryocidal effects in experimental animals at large doses.
Naltrexone is an off-white to light tan powder which is insoluble in water (Material, 2004). It has a molecular weight of 341.41 and a melting point of 168-170oC. It is non-flammable, and protective self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing should be worn in fires involving naltrexone to prevent contact with the skin and eyes. Fires should be doused with water, alcohol foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical powder.
Naltrexone is stable, but is incompatible with strong oxidizers (Material, 2004). Decomposition products include toxic fumes of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and ionic or oxidized halogen. The product will not polymerize. The vapor and dust should not be breathed, and contact with the skin and eyes should be avoided. Prolonged or repeated contact should be avoided, and thorough washing after contact is needed. A NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator, chemical resistant gloves, safety goggles and other protective clothing are necessary during handling. Handling naltrexone requires adequate mechanical ventilation with a chemical hood, and eyewash solutions and a shower must be available.
Naltrexone should be stored at controlled room temperature, between 15 and 30C (Material, 2004). This information was obtained from www.MDSAOnline.com .
3. After having three drinks, a 160 lb male would have a blood alcohol level of roughly .07, depending on how long it has been since he consumed these drinks, what kind of alcohol they consisted of, and a lot of other factors (Hamilton, 2005). A 160 lb female who had consumed 3 drinks would have a blood alcohol level...
