Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
No mortalities occurred in this study.
Clinical signs:
other: Piloerection was seen, being a common symptom in acute dermal tests. At the application site, erythema was observed on day 1 after administration to day 3 in the males, day 2 in the females. The animals recovered within 3 to 4 days.
Gross pathology:
At autopsy, no deviations from normal morphology were found.
