Additional information - General Population
Exposure of balsalazide acid to the general population will be negligible as it is an intermediate substance used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical ingredients. The intake of the pharmaceutical by the general public is not covered by REACH legislation.
In accordance with the use information detailed in the pharmacology document attached in Section 13.2 of IUCLID, the maximum daily dose of the pharmaceutical balsalazide disodium salt (Colazide) is 6.6 g/day. This corresponds to 5.8 g/day of balsalazide acid or 97.9 mg/kg bw/day. Therefore, the DNEL values calculated above are likely to be very conservative.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
