Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test substance was not considered as an irritant. The slight effects were interpreted as mechanical irritation caused by the physical shape of the test item.
Executive summary:

This study was designed to examine the eye irritation effects of Nomcort SG. The test substance in 100% was administered to three healthy male New Zealand White (Yac:NZW(KBL)) rabbits.

In the initial test, 0.1 g of the test substance was administered to the conjunctival sac of the right eye in one animal. In 24 hours, mild irritant effect was observed, so the confirmatory test was conducted using two additional animals. The eye irritation of the test substance was calculated according to the Draize's method; and eye irritation range was classified by the method of Kay and Calandra.

As a result, 1 hour after the administration, score 1 for conjunctival redness, chemosis and discharge were observed. After 24 hours, score 1 for conjunctival redness (3 animals) and score 1 for discharge (1 animal) were observed. However, it was recovered to normal at 48 hours after the administration.

Abnormal clinical signs and body weight changes by the test substance were not observed in all animals during the observation period.
