Conclusions:
According to the results obtained in this study, it was concluded that Nomcort SG is not a skin sensitizer under the conditions of this study.
Executive summary:

This study was designed to evaluate the skin sensitization of Nomcort SG using the Buehler test protocol. The test groups consisted of test substance group (20 animals) and control group (10 animals).

In the first, second and third induction for the test substance group, 100% test substance was held in contact with thee skin by an occlusive dressing for 6 hours. In two weeks, the flanks in the left and right were challenged with 100% test substance and olive oil, respectively, which were occlusively dressed for 6 hours.

In the first, second and third induction for the control group, olive oil was held in contact with the skin by an occlusive dressing for 6 hours. In two weeks, the left and right flanks were challenged with 100% test substance and olive oil, respectively, which were occlusively dressed for 6 hours.

As a result of the study, there were no skin reactions from any challenge sites on the test substance group and control group.

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

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
