Irritant / corrosive response data:
Slight or well-defined erythema (score 1 or 2) was observed in 3/3 animals from 1 h post-application. At the 24 h reading time point, 2/3 animals had well-defined (score 2) and 1/3 slight erythema (score 1). Slight eythema persisted in 2/3 rabbits until Day 5 and in 1/3 until Day 4. At the 1-hour reading time point 1/3 animals had slight edema (score 2) and 1/3 animals had very slight edema (score 1). In both animals very slight edema (score 1) was noted at the 24-hour reading time point, while the effect had cleared within 48 hours. The erythema and edema had cleared completely by the 6 day-reading time point. One rabbit had dry skin from Day 2 - 7, while another rabbit had dry skin from Day 4 - 7.
