After the administration the test animals were observed for 14 days, general and detailed clinical observations were performed on a daily basis, body weights were determined on day 0, 7 and 14. After the 14 -day observation period the animals were euthanized and subjected to detailed gross examination. All the tested animals survived the entire experiment, the examinations did not reveal any pathological change in the animals. The oral LD-50 for amoxicillin trihydrate is above 2000 mg/kg bw.

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
Only one test available
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – inhalation endpoint
According to REACH Annex VIII, column 2: In addition to the oral route, for substances other than gases, the information mentioned under 8.5.2 to 8.5.3 shall be provided for at least one other route. The choice for the second route will depend on the nature of the substance and the likely route of human exposure. If there is only one route of exposure, information for only that route need be provided. The information is provided for dermal route.
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
Only one study available.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the available data (oral and dermal LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw), the substance is not classified for acute toxicity according to CLP Regulation (EC) no. 1272/2008.
