Administrative data

Endpoint:
acute toxicity: other routes
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Reliability:
4 (not assignable)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
The information used is from a document which summarises many investigations on the substance potassium clavulanate, the document looks into the toxicity of potassium clavulanate in a range of different species by both oral and parenteral routes. The document reviews the results of many study reports and very little information regarding the methods has been included, which is why a klimisch reliability of 4 has been given.
