Clinical signs:
Signs of toxicity related to dose levels:
The main clinical signs observed were: hypoactivity,
muscular tremors, salivation, palpebral closure,
hypothermia, shallow breathing, piloerection and hunched
posture starting from 30 minutes - 4 hours and lasting up to
6-24 hours after the test article administration.
Sporadic cases of ataxia, reddish nasal discharge,
chromodacryorrhea were also observed.
Recovery of all treated rats was achieved within 24
(females) - 48 hours (males) of treatment.
Low body weight gain was observed in some animals only at
the day 3 weighing. Body weight gain returned to normal at
the subsequent weighing.

Additional information

An acute oral toxicity study and an acute dermal toxicity study are available for Phenethylammonium salt of fosfomycin. In both studies, the LD50 resulted > 2000 mg/kg bw.

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to Regulation (EC) n. 1272/2008, Phenethylammonium salt of fosfomycin is not classified for acute toxicity by oral and dermal routes.
