Endpoint:
acute toxicity: oral
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Study period:
2012
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
A reliable secondary source, summarising terfenadine pharmaco-toxicological properties, was used. However the primary sources were not revisited in order to verify their contents; for this reason reliability score 2 was used. The used secondary source has been updated on 2012; therefore it covers the most updated literature on the substance.
