Single-use nitrile gloves and a disposable gown or lab coat are sufficient for routine handling. Eye protection and respiratory protection are not needed for intact tablets unless dust generation is expected. Gloves should be changed if torn or contaminated and hands washed immediately afterward.

How should spills of Aurobindo clonazepam be cleaned?

Small tablet fragments or powder should be wiped with a damp paper towel and placed in a hazardous-drug waste container. Larger spills require double gloving, a gown, and a spill kit designated for hazardous drugs. The area is then cleaned with detergent and water followed by thorough rinsing.
