Consumption of the drug may cause major blood clotting abnormalities and irregular heartbeats. An online pesticide database gives more information about the safety of diphenadione.
1 Carcinogenic effects: No data are currently available. 2  Organ toxicity: The principal target of diphacinone is the blood (specifically the clotting factors), but effects on the liver, kidneys, heart, and musculature have been seen, probably as secondary effects. Animal studies indicate that little metabolism takes place, and that diphacinone which is not eliminated may concentrate to varying degrees in the liver, kidneys, and lungs [8,172]. 2  The half-life of diphacinone in humans is 15 to 20 days [8].
