Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
No mortality observed
Clinical signs:
No abnormalities
Body weight:
body weight gain
Gross pathology:
No pathological findings
Other findings:
Local effects (see table 1):
In the male animals moderate to severe erythema and in single cases additionally slight edema, incrustation and scaling were seen. 14 days after application in all male animals signs of reversibility were observed.
In the female animals well-defined erythema, scaling and in some cases slight edema were seen. Erythema could still be observed 14 days after application.
