Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The results of this study showed that repeated oral administration (Day 6-15 post coitum) of the test substance to pregnant rats caused no symptoms of cumulative toxicity and does not reveal any embryotoxic or teratogenic potential up to a dose level of 1000 mg/kg body weight/day.
