Information for doctor
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed No further relevant information available.
Danger
Platinum compounds, especially platinum halogen complexes, are sensitizers. Sensitized persons, on re-exposure to platinum salts, will show the clinical features of
a Type 1 allergy: asthma and/or rhinitis and/or conjunctivitis and/or urticaria. A contact dermatitis may also occur. The symptoms of the allergic reaction to platinum
salts may include any of the following: itchy red eyes, watering of the eyes, sneezing, runny nose, chest tightness, wheezing, breathlessness, cough, eczematous or
urticarial (nettle rash type) skin lesions. Exposure to platinum salts in exceedingly small amounts, even below the level of
physico-chemical detection, will produce symptoms in sensitized persons. Continued exposure will give symptoms of increasing severity and can eventually lead to
chronic asthma. There is a risk of anaphylactic shock occuring in sensitized persons re-encountering platinum salts. Therefore, if sensitization has developed, further
exposure to platinum compounds must not be permitted.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed No further relevant information available.
