Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Remarks on result:
other: The LD50 value was not determined since none of the rats died at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw. The LD50 value was predicted to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.
Mortality:
None of the rats died over a period of 14 days.
Clinical signs:
other: There were no clinical signs seen.
