Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of Mesamoll was tested in male Wistar rats treated via gavage with the doses: 5.0 and 15.0 ml/kg bw. The observation period was 14 days. No mortalities could be observed. Signs of intoxication were observed in the 15.0 ml/kg bw dose group (apathy, ruffled fur and diarrhea). The LD 50 was higher than 15 ml/kg bw (corresponds to 15.9 g/kg).
