Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Results and discussion

Overall reproductive toxicity

Reproductive effects observed:
not specified

Any other information on results incl. tables

Spontaneous testicular degeneration

(e.g., testicular atrophy, decreased spermatogenesis, spermatocytic degeneration

and giant cell formation) was observed in dogs treated with 20 mg/kg/day for one

year, however this effect was poorly reproducible and not dose-dependent (AHFS,

2004; PDR, 2005). It is not clear if fertility was altered in dogs. No effects on

fertility were observed in rats (details not specified).

We suggest classifying lovastatin as Reproductive toxiciy cat 2 , H361: Suspected ofdamaging fertility or the unborn child
