Antidote
No specific antidote is known. Treat symptomatically.		 Precautions

  • Do not spray against the wind direction.
  • Avoid application during active foraging period of pollinators.
  • Always wear protective clothing while handling.
  • Do not smoke, eat or drink during application.
  • Wash hands and body thoroughly after spraying.
Mode of Action

  • MAXIMA acts on the central nervous system of insects, causing irreversible blockage of postsynaptic nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. This results in a rapid pulse leading to hyperexcitation, convulsions, paralysis, and finally death.
  • MAXIMA acts by interfering with the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor of the nervous system, unlike organophosphates, carbamates, and pyrethroids which act on nerve fiber membrane proteins.
