Effects on fertility

Link to relevant study records
Reference
Endpoint:
fertility, other
Remarks:
based on test type
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
other information
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
A reliable secondary source, summarising Candesartan properties, was used. However the primary sources were not revisited in order to verify their contents; for this reason reliability score 2 was used; it covers the most updated literature on the substance.

candesartan did not impair fertility in male or female rats

Conclusions:
Candesartan did not impair fertility in male or female rats.
Effect on fertility: via oral route
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed
Species:
rat
Effect on fertility: via inhalation route
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
Effect on fertility: via dermal route
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Effects on developmental toxicity

Description of key information
In human: Oliguria, perinatal renal failure, neonatal kidney dysfunction, developmental delay, and death associated with use of candesartan during the 2nd and 3rd trimester.
Rats do not represent a good model to study the potency of action of this substance to cause developmental impariment in pupies.
Effect on developmental toxicity: via oral route
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed

Justification for classification or non-classification

Considering the available results and according to CLP Regulation, the substance was classified as Repro 2 H361d (specifi effect: oligohydramniosi).
