Irritant / corrosive response data:
Moderate or marked erythema (grade 2 or 3), observed in all animals immediately after removal of the patch up to 24 hours, persisted in two animals up to 72 hours. Moderate erythema decreased to slight (grade 1) in one animal after 48 hours and in two animals on day 7. Slight erythema persisted in one animal from 48 hours up to day 7.
Moderate edema (grade 2), noted in all animals immediately after removal of the patch up to 1 hour, decreased to slight (grade 1) in two animals after the 24-hour reading.
In addition, scaling was noticed in one animal on day 7.
The cutaneous reactions were reversible in all animals within 14 days after removal of the patch.
Mean scores over 24, 48 and 72 hours for each animal were 1.3, 2.0 and 2.0 for erythema and 0.3, 0.3 and 0.0 for edema.
