Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Intradermal: 0.1 ml doses of the test item 0.1 % were injected into the interscapular region and local reactions were evaluated
approx. 24, 48 hours and 6 days after the injections.
Cutaneous route: a filter paper (~8 cm2) was fully loaded with a dosage form preparation and was then applied to the clipped area of the skin.
(It was held in place by means of an occlusive dressing for 48 hours.)
Cutaneous reactions were evaluated 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressings.
