Key value for chemical safety assessment

Eye irritation

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

Additional information

Experimental results did not indicate an irritant potential of indomethacin. Studies of eye irritation (scoring according to Draize) revealed at most a minimal potential for eye irritation with complete recovery within 24 hours. In house data on skin irritation are not available. However, skin sensitization tests with a challenge concentration of 10% indomethacin in petrolatum gave no indiacation for a skin irritating potential in the guinea pig (Maurer 1985, Curr. Probl. Derm. Vol. 14, pp. 114 -151).
