- % coverage: approximately 10%
- Type of wrap if used: hydrophilic gauze pad held in contact with the skin by means of an adhesive hypoallergenic aerated semi-occlusive dressing and a restraining bandage
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 1.64 mL/kg
- Constant volume or concentration used: no - Duration of exposure:
- 24 h
- Doses:
- 2000 mg/kg of a 71,5% aqueous solution (equivalent to 1430 mg/kg of the active ingredient)
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 5
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:The animals were observed frequently during the hours following administration of the test itemfor detection of possible treatment-related clinical signs. Thereafter, observation of the animals was made at least once a day until day 15.
From day 2, any local cutaneous reaction was recorded.
The animals were weighed individually just before administration of the test item on day 1 and then on days 8 and 15.
The body weight gain of the treated animals was compared to that of CIT control animals with a similar initial body weight.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: Macroscopic necropsy examination:All study animals were subjected to a macroscopic examination as soon as possible after death. After opening the thoracic and abdominal cavities, a macroscopic examination of the main morgans (digestive tract, heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas, spleen and any other organs with obvious abnormalities) was performed. Preservation of tissues: No organ samples were taken.
