Conclusions:
LD50 > 3170 mg/kg in rats
Executive summary:

Method

Acute oral toxicity was assessed in rats upon administration of a single oral dose. Male and female rats were dosed 1000, 2150 and 3170 mg/kg. Observations were continued up to day 7.

Results

No mortality was seen, thus LD0 = 3170 mg/kg and LD50 > 3170 mg/kg.

Dose related symptoms in terms of sedation, dyspnoea, exophthalmus, curved position and ruffled fur were noted. Recovery within 6 days occurred.
