The following are the side effects of boric acid that occurred in case of accumulation toxicity, after prolonged exposure and following systemic absorption. These effects are organized according to the MedDRA system organic classification. There is insufficient data to establish the frequency of the individual effects listed. \u003ci\u003ePathologies of the skin and subcutaneous tissue\u003c\/i\u003e: Dermatitis, skin rashes, alopecia. \u003ci\u003eGastrointestinal disorders\u003c\/i\u003e: Gastro-intestinal disorders: nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea. \u003ci\u003eMetabolism and nutrition disorders\u003c\/i\u003e: Anorexia. \u003ci\u003eEndocrine disorders\u003c\/i\u003e: Menstrual disorders. \u003ci\u003ePathologies of the blood and lymphatic system:\u003c\/i\u003e Anemia. \u003ci\u003eMusculoskeletal system and connective tissue disorders:\u003c\/i\u003e Weakness. \u003ci\u003ePsychiatric disorders\u003c\/i\u003e: Confusion. \u003ci\u003eNervous system disorders:\u003c\/i\u003e Convulsions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOVERDOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe risk of acute intoxication via the skin appears to be a negligible event given its low transcutaneous absorption index. Boric acid can be absorbed in toxic quantities through the gastrointestinal tract, by inhalation or through skin lesions. \u003ci\u003eSymptoms\u003c\/i\u003e Following the use of large quantities of boric acid on wounds or sores, cases of poisoning and death have occurred, especially in children. The mechanism of toxic action is unknown and numerous organs and systems are affected, in particular the skin, kidney and digestive tract. The toxic effects also affect the CNS and the lung with lesions, mainly haemorrhagic, of obscure genesis. The main symptoms of boric acid poisoning are vomiting, diarrhea, visceral pain, skin erythema followed by desquamation, CNS stimulation followed by depression, restlessness, headache. Metabolic acidosis and serious salt and water imbalances are also frequent. Furthermore, boric acid in these situations can cause convulsions, changes in body temperature and kidney damage which can be evidenced by oliguria. Death, following circulatory collapse and untreated shock, can occur within 3 to 5 days. Cyanosis, delirium, seizures, and coma (HSDB) may also occur. Cases of serious intoxication manifested themselves with gastrointestinal disorders (73%), central nervous system disorders (67%) and skin lesions (76%). Symptoms of chronic poisoning include anorexia, confusion, debilitation, dermatitis, menstrual disorders, anemia, convulsions and alopecia (see section 4.8). \u003ci\u003eTreatment\u003c\/i\u003e No treatment is necessary if the dose taken is less than 50 mg\/kg. For ingestion of higher doses, gastric lavage is performed with suspension of activated charcoal and saline purgative. If the absorbed quantity exceeds 100 mg\/kg, even if the patient is still asymptomatic, forced diuresis must be instituted immediately, in order to accelerate elimination and protect the kidney from toxic effects; at the first signs of renal failure and water overdose, forced diuresis should be replaced with peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis. The remaining therapy is symptomatic and resuscitative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePREGNANCY AND BREASTFEEDING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003ePregnancy\u003c\/u\u003e: No clinical data on exposed pregnancies are available. Animal studies are insufficient to demonstrate effects on embryonic\/foetal development (see section 5.3). The potential risk for humans is not known, however if the medicine is used in accordance with the instructions for use, absorption is poor and, therefore, the risk of systemic effects is minimal. \u003cu\u003eBreastfeeding\u003c\/u\u003e: No data are available on the use of the medicine during breastfeeding and it is not known whether this active ingredient passes into breast milk. However, since the absorption of the drug can be considered negligible, it is very unlikely that significant quantities reach the breast milk\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEFFECTS ON DRIVING ABILITY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoric acid does not affect the ability to drive or use machines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aeffe Farmaceutici","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730212028743,"sku":"029964057","price":3.63,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/4989\/2467\/files\/aeffe-farmaceutici-srl-acido-borico-afom-3-500-ml-soluzione-cutanea-farmacia-dottor-tili-1213791009.jpg?v=1791229588","url":"https:\/\/www.dottortili.com\/en-eu\/products\/borico-afom-acid-3-500-ml-skin-solution","provider":"Farmacia Dottor Tili","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
