Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
not specified
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 200 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
other: 1/6 animals died
Mortality:
1/6 animals died 8-14 days after dosing.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Necropsy performed showed mucoid enteropathy in the animals that died (therefore the death observed is thought to be not treatment related as mucoid enteropathy can be attributed to stress of one sort or another, especially change of diet and environment, and conditions causing the rabbit to stop eating such as pain).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the applied test conditions the LD50 value in rabbits is higher than 200 mg/kg bw (i.e. highes dose tested).
