Dimethylacetamide is a medium potency reproductive toxicant (toxic for reproduction, category 1B) and may damage fertility or the unborn child. It is harmful in contact with skin or if inhaled, and causes serious eye irritation.
Dimethylacetamide can cause hepatotoxicity, including occupational dimethylacetamide exposure-induced hepatotoxicity. At high doses (400 mg/kg bodyweight daily), dimethylacetamide causes effects on the central nervous system (e.g. depression, hallucinations and delusion).
Dimethylacetamide may be incompatible with polycarbonate or ABS. Devices (e.g. syringes) that contain polycarbonate or ABS can dissolve when coming into contact with dimethylacetamide.
