Study type:
study with volunteers
Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The investigation was conducted on adult patients of both sexes with chronic urticaria. A closed patch test with 5% the test substance in petrolatum was applied to the upper part of the back for a period of 30 min. The result was read immediately after removal and after every hour until the reaction disappeared. Effect of an antihistamine was also studied.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test substance gave rise to urticarial reaction. The effect of antihistamine was that the reactions were not always inhibited but were diminished.
