Spills and Disposal
Spills of PHOTOFRIN® should be wiped up with a damp cloth.

All contaminated materials should be disposed of in a polyethylene bag in a manner consistent with local regulations.
Accidental Exposure
PHOTOFRIN® is neither a primary ocular irritant nor a primary dermal irritant. However, because of its potential to induce photosensitivity, PHOTOFRIN® might be an eye and/or skin irritant in the presence of bright light. It is important to avoid contact with the eyes and skin during preparation and/or administration. As with therapeutic overdosage, any overexposed person must be protected from bright light.
