Nadia,
The classification is correct for high potency. I would consider the level of PPE to be at an elevated status to include a double gloving procedure, as well as Tyvek (i.e.,
disposable) lab coats, sleeve covers and booties. If the API has a dust property, then the use of a PAPR is strongly suggested.
That being said, I would encourage you to draft an SOP on high hazard handling. You could do a search on the internet, but be very careful as not all classifications are the
same.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!
george

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Clarification on : working with a high potency compound
Hi everybody,
Here is the clarification regarding my question : ‘’Working with a high potent compound’’
I am working in a pharmaceutical company and what I mean by high potency is very, very active compound (in that case active pharmaceutical ingredient = API) in the human body for the intended pharmacological
effect. This generic drug that we will work on in the near future has a daily dosage of only 20
=B5g per day (for that reason I guess it was classified as high potent drug) compare to a low potent drug e.g. 20g per day.
On the other side the LD 50 (mouse) of this compound is 200mg per kg, so it is not very toxic.
Sorry about this misunderstanding and thanks to all of you for the efforts trying to answer my not clear enough question,
Regards,
Nadia
