Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
The test substance was administered at dose level 2000 mg/kg bw to the clipped skin of 10 rabbits (5 non-abraded, 5 abraded) for 24 hr under occlusive conditions. At 24 hours, patches were removed and the site washed. Animals were observed for 14 days for signs of mortality, toxicity and pharmacological effects. Gross pathology was performed on animals which died during the study
GLP compliance:
no
Test type:
fixed dose procedure
Limit test:
yes
