Executive summary:

Method

Study in 1 male and 2 female rabbits by topical application of 0.5 g onto 6 cm2 intact dorsal skin. The scoring of skin reactions was performed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removing the dressing.

Result

Local signs (mean values from 24 to 72 hours) consisted of grade 0.00 erythema and grade 0.00 edema.

In the area of application, pink staining of the treated skin by the test article was observed during the whole observation period.

However the staining had no influence on the evaluation of skin reactions. No corrosive effect occurred on the treated skin of any animal at each measuring interval.
