Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The oral LD50 for the 63% solution of DADMAC was calculated as 4.81 (4.41-5.53) ml/kg which is the equivalent of 3093 DADMAC mg/kg bw. The No Observed Adverse Effect Level was 3.18 ml/kg bw, equivalent to 2044 mg DADAMAC/kg bw.
