Any other information on results incl. tables

RESULTS OF PILOT STUDY: Following intradermal injection significant skin irritation was seen at concentrations of 5 and 10% persisting for 72 hours. The 3% concentration showed evidence of irritation at 24 hours only. Following topical application the undiluted material was irritant up to 48 hours, 2/4 guineapigs showed irritation at 10% while there was no evidence of irritation with the 3% concentration.

RESULTS OF TEST

- Sensitization reaction: There was no evidence of sensitisation in any of the test animals. Reactions at 24 and 48 hours following challenge with the solvent control (liquid paraffin) and 3% and 10% solutions were 0/10 treated, 0/5 control.

- Clinical signs: There were no significant differences in general condition and body weight gain between test and control groups over the course of the test.

- Rechallenge: Not required.
